Their Hands Made the Music

Their hand made the music
Wooden boxes and some strings
Bringing life to the melodies
Our lonesome voices sing
Guitar, banjo, fiddle
A mandolin and bass
They put their trust in a sound
A lifetime leap of faith

Trusting in the music
Trusting in the love
For all that they have given us
We can’t give back enough
For the soundtrack of our years
And all the hearts they’ve touched
For all of this and so much more
We give our love and trust

Living out of a suitcase
A million miles on the road
Away from home and family
A sacrifice untold
It’s the love, not the money
Barely dollars and dimes
And it’s hard to live on love
When you fall on harder times

Trusting in the music
Trusting in the love
For all that they have given
We can’t give back enough
For the soundtrack of our years
And all the hearts they’ve touched
For all of this and so much more
We give our love and trust

So, here’s to all the pickers
And the legends we have lost
The ones that carry on the torch
No matter what the cost

Trusting in the music
Trusting in the love
For all that they have given
We can’t give back enough
For the soundtrack of our years
And all the hearts they’ve touched
For all of this and so much more
We give our love and trust

For the soundtrack of our years
And all the hearts they’ve touched
For all of this and so much more
We give our love and trust
