| Gentle Giant |
| With the roar of a mighty engine and the creak of cabled gears strong hands push and pull the levers but the man's eyes fill with tears As the jaws bite twisted metal and gather crushed debris what waits to be discovered is what he doesn't want to see The man's hands work their laborous task and his eyes take care for what they clutch the long arm gently lowers and the teeth close with a tender touch As a mother gazes over her child's quiet sleep, this giant moves with careful pace and with each bite leaves call to weep. |
