The Lineman Video (MV)

He rose before the dawn to the rooster's early crow
With calloused hands he'd head for town through rain or heavy snow
He'd kiss his kids goodbye and whisper in their ears
I'd do this for you, my loves, to chase away your fears

His wife would cook the breakfast, the smell of bacon fried
She'd pack his lunch with tender care, with love that never died
The kids would wait impatiently for daddy to come home
His laughter filled the evening air, their hearts a joyful pulse

But one stormy night the lightning struck, a job he'd done so well
The lineman fell, his tools dropped down, he couldn't say farewell
His family stood in tearful shock, their pillar turned to dust
In memories they found their strength, and in his love their trust

The house now feels a bit too big, though it's filled with kids' laughter
His empty boots sit by the door, silent ever after
The dinners round the table, they saved his favorite spot
To honor him they'd share his tales, the man they loved a lot

His wife now tends the garden where roses start to bloom
She talks to him in whispered prayers within the quiet room
His strength is in their marrow, his love flows deep and true
For though he's gone he lingers on in everything they do

But one stormy night the lightning struck, a job he'd done so well
The lineman fell, his tools dropped down, he couldn't say farewell
His family stood in tearful shock, their pillar turned to dust
In memories they found their strength, and in his love their trust

And in memories they found their trust
