《Wood》歌词

[00:00:00] Wood - Dan Seals

[00:00:12] His old hands were brown

[00:00:15] From the varnish and the stain

[00:00:19] And I had come to talk

[00:00:21] In my youth and in my pain

[00:00:25] I told him that I was not

[00:00:28] The man I want to be

[00:00:31] I waited to see what he would say

[00:00:37] But he just kept on working

[00:00:40] As if I wasn't there

[00:00:43] The sweat on his face

[00:00:46] And dust in his hair

[00:00:49] He paused for a moment

[00:00:52] When I'd been there for a while

[00:00:55] He wiped his brow - I thought I saw him smile

[00:01:01] He just said "Wood

[00:01:04] From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree

[00:01:10] And we can take it shape it to what's it's meant to be

[00:01:17] The stronger the fiber the better for the good

[00:01:23] Son I believe that men are just like wood "

[00:01:35] I handed him a timber

[00:01:38] And he laid it on the bench

[00:01:42] I watched the love and care he took

[00:01:45] To measure every inch

[00:01:48] The work it got harder

[00:01:50] When he cut across the grain

[00:01:54] But he just put more shoulder to the plane

[00:02:00] I sat there beside him

[00:02:03] As he carved out every line

[00:02:06] He made a thing of beauty

[00:02:09] From a rough 'ol piece of pine

[00:02:12] He seem to have the vision

[00:02:15] Of what the end would be

[00:02:19] I felt as if some pieces had been taken out of me

[00:02:24] He just said "Wood

[00:02:27] From the earth beneath our feet there grows a tree

[00:02:33] And we can take it shape it to what's it's meant to be

[00:02:40] The stronger the fiber the better for the good

[00:02:46] Son I believe that men are just like wood "

[00:02:56] I left a little taller

[00:02:59] Wiser and free

[00:03:02] I learned the use of tools

[00:03:04] For the carpenter in me

[00:03:08] I don't have all the answers

[00:03:11] But one thing I have have found

[00:03:14] We are the choices that we make

[00:03:17] When the chips are down wood

[00:03:37] He said "The stronger the fiber the better for the good

[00:03:44] Son I believe that men are just like wood "

[00:03:56] Just like wood
