Bill Miller - Faith Of A Child Lyrics
A child will walk, a child will runA child with faith, faith will flyAnita hasn't walked right since she was smallHer legs are short and twisted not straight and tallShe learned when she was young how to deal with the rejectionCast into a world with all it standards of perfectionMost people looked away with a downward glanceAnd as a beautiful young woman, she was never asked to danceHer dreams were just as lofty as the girl next doorAnd she remember what her father said when she couldn't take no moreHe saidSomeday your going to soar like a eagle,You will run and never grow tiredYou'll become a new creationIf you just keep the faith of a child,Keep the faith of a childNow Anita lives alone in a paper mill townIn a one room apartment at sixth and brownShe's got a steady job well its all right for nowShe has plans for moving on if she can make it some howHer brown hands are folded as she bows her head to prayOver doughnuts and some coffee she made up yesterdayHer mind begins to travel, she gives thanks to the lordAnd a angel stands beside her, points out to the doorAnd saidToday you going to soar like a eagleYou will run and never grow tiredYou've become a new creationFor you have kept the faith of a childKept the faith of a child, kept the faith of a child
