A retrospective tribute to the workers who built our world and to the loved ones whose hands shaped our lives. Hands That Built the Day honors my father—postman, railroader, and navy man—my late Uncle Horace, who served in both the Army and Navy, and my mother, a public educator, activist, and protester for justice.

This song is a celebration of Labor Day, but also a remembrance of every calloused hand, every weary back, every voice that rose for dignity. It blends the storytelling tradition of folk ballads with the spirit of unity, carrying forward the anthem of working people everywhere.
