Bill Miller Faith Of A Child Lyrics

Faith Of A Child Lyrics

A child will walk, a child will run 



A child with faith, faith will fly 







Anita hasn't walked right since she was small 



Her legs are short and twisted not straight and tall 



She learned when she was young how to deal with the rejection 



Cast into a world with all it standards of perfection 







Most people looked away with a downward glance 



And as a beautiful young woman, she was never asked to dance 



Her dreams were just as lofty as the girl next door 



And she remember what her father said when she couldn't take no more 







He said 



Someday your going to soar like a eagle, 



You will run and never grow tired 



You'll become a new creation 



If you just keep the faith of a child, 



Keep the faith of a child 







Now Anita lives alone in a paper mill town 



In a one room apartment at sixth and brown 



She's got a steady job well its all right for now 



She has plans for moving on if she can make it some how 







Her brown hands are folded as she bows her head to pray 



Over doughnuts and some coffee she made up yesterday 



Her mind begins to travel, she gives thanks to the lord 



And a angel stands beside her, points out to the door 







And said 



Today you going to soar like a eagle 



You will run and never grow tired 



You've become a new creation 



For you have kept the faith of a child 



Kept the faith of a child, kept the faith of a child
