Grease Stains and Grace

[Intro]
[Verse]
Oil stains on the concrete floor
I don't work the shop no more
Calloused palms and heavy grit
Spent my life just fixing it
But I let the engine stall
While you grew up ten feet tall
[Pre-Chorus]
Took the long way home
Through the dust and bone
Now I'm standing at your door
Can't be that man no more
[Chorus]
I’m mending the seams
Of all your broken dreams
With these grease-stained hands
I’m learning where I stand
It’s a heavy, holy lift
The only kind of gift
That a father can bring
When he’s lost everything
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, I'm fixing it now
I'm making a vow
[Verse]
Work gloves sitting on the rail
Like a ghost of every fail
Found your photo in the drawer
Seven, eight, then nine and more
Missed the cake and missed the light
Chasing shadows through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the porch wood creaks
While the old man speaks
Trying to find the words
That you never heard
[Chorus]
I’m mending the seams
Of all your broken dreams
With these grease-stained hands
I’m learning where I stand
It’s a heavy, holy lift
The only kind of gift
That a father can bring
When he’s lost everything
[Bridge]
The porch light is humming
Lord, I see her coming
She didn't slam the screen
Best sound I've ever seen
Forgiveness is a slow-burn flame
I'm finally learning your name
I'm learning your name
[Solo]
[Chorus]
I’m mending the seams
Of all your broken dreams
With these grease-stained hands
I’m learning where I stand
It’s a heavy, holy lift
The only kind of gift
That a father can bring
When he’s lost everything
[Post-Chorus]
Hallelujah, child
Stay a little while
[Break]
Just look at my hands
They're finally clean
If you know what I mean
[Outro]
