Unseen Hands

[Intro] (Soft piano melody with a somber, reflective tone) [Verse 1] Early dawn, he’s out the door again, A silhouette against the grind, no time to bend. Calloused palms, a kingdom built in silence, But the world just sees a shadow in the violence. Every check he signed, every sleepless night, A crown of sweat, but they call it “just his right.” He carries weight they’ll never trace, A hero’s heart with no spotlight on his face. [Chorus] Unseen hands, they hold the world in place, But the praise don’t land, no ribbons, no embrace. He’s the steady b**t in a broken song, Building thrones for others, but they tell him, “Move along.” [Verse 2] He laughs it off, says, “Love don’t need a name,” But his reflection knows the sting of hidden shame. Through every storm, he plants the seeds alone, While the harvest’s claimed by a house he built from stone. They call it “strength” when he swallows pride, But the tears he hides are oceans held inside. [Chorus] Unseen hands, they hold the world in place, But the praise don’t land, no ribbons, no embrace. He’s the steady b**t in a broken song, Building thrones for others, but they tell him, “Move along.” [Bridge] Oh, the years they steal the youth from his eyes, Yet he stands tall, a mountain in disguise. One day the scales will tip, the truth will rise— A legacy of love etched in the skies. [Outro] (Gentle piano fades, leaving a hum of resolve in the air)
