Xena's Hands
(originally Daddy's Hands)
tune by Holly Dunn

(Gabrielle)

I remember Xena's hands folded silently in prayer...
and reaching out to hold me when I had a nightmare.

You could read quite a story in the callouses and lines
years of work and worry had left their mark behind.

I remember Xena's hands how they held me through the night
and patted my back for something done right.

There are things that I've forgotten that I loved about the woman
but I'll always remember the love in Xena's hands.

Chorus
Xena's hands
were soft and kind when I was crying.
Xena's hands
were hard as steel when you done wrong.
Xena's hands weren't always gentle
but I've come to understand,
there was always love in Xena's hands.

I remember Xena's hands working till they bled
sacraficed unselfishly just to keep us all fed.

If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
and never take for granted the love in Xena's hands.

Chorus
Xena's hands
were soft and kind when I was crying.
Xena's hands
were hard as steel when you done wrong.
Xena's hands weren't always gentle
but I've come to understand,
there was always love in Xena's hands.
