    An only child Took me years to understand Music break

    Alone and wild

    A cabinet maker's son [Chorus:] I thank you for the music

    His hands were meant The leader of the band is tired And your stories of the road

    For different work And his eyes are growing old I thank you for the freedom

    And his heart was known to none But his blood runs through my instrument When it came my time to go

    And his song is in my soul I thank you for the kindness

    He left his home My life has been a poor attempt And the times when you got tough

    And went his lone To imitate the man And, papa, I don't think I

    And solitary way I'm just a living legacy Said 'i love you' near enough

    And he gave to me To the leader of the band

    A gift I know I never can repay [Chorus:]

    My brothers' lives were different

    A quiet man of music For they heard another call I am a living legacy to the leader of the
    band
    Denied a simpler fate One went to Chicago

    He tried to be a soldier once And the other to St. Paul

    But his music wouldn't wait And I'm in Colorado

    He earned his love When I'm not in some hotel

    Through discipline Living out this life I've chose

    A thundering, velvet hand And come to know so well

    His gentle means of sculpting souls
