Broken down shack
Hole in the world
Spot where you drop in
Eyes wide open
Like a blue velvet curtain
To that stage with no sin
Just an innocent play
About soft warm days
With no thoughts of treasures to win
Somewhere downstream
Where the rocks get mean
You wonder why your cards are cut so thin
(Chorus:)
You figured out then
That's where you begin
Hold on christian hold on
Hold on christian hold on
I see the face of an angel
In every child's smile
Innocence is a birth rite it would seem
The impressions made
By this wide wicked world
Can beat you and steal your dreams
But your faith can take you
Beyond yourself
Brother that's right where
You gotta be if you want to
Rise up above
Your childhood reality
(Chorus)
