Xena's Hands

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.

repeat Chorus
