the carpenter - anne wilson lyrics

[verse 1]
granddaddy put some oak from the hill through an old sawmill
built the porch we were sitting on
like a rocking chair preacher, told a story that was sweeter
than the tea we were sipping on
grandma dreamed of a wraparound
took me a month to get the last board down
i said, “ain’t that something?”
he said, “this ain’t nothing”

[chorus]
let me tell you ’bout a man whose hands built more than i ever could
he set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood
he bore a cross that built a bridge
ain’t no broken that he can’t fix
he can mend where you hurt
let him in and let him get to work
he’s the carpenter
oh

[verse 2]
he said, “you should’ve seen me ‘fore he helped me break free
from the chains i was dragging round
we wouldn’t be here talking if i’d kept on walking
that road i was going down
don’t ask me how he made anything
out of the man i used to be
i was a worthless pile of scr*ps
he said, “i’m used to using that”
[chorus]
let me tell you ’bout a man whose hands built more than i ever could
he set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood
he bore a cross that built a bridge
ain’t no broken that he can’t fix
he can mend where you hurt
let him in and let him get to work
he’s the carpenter

[bridge]
oh, he’s the carpenter
he’ll carve you out, sand you down
build you up on solid ground

[outro]
oh, he’s the carpenter
he’s the carpenter
