Faith Of A Child Lyrics - Singles - Bill Miller

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 its 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 remembers what her father said when she couldn't take no more 

He said, "Someday you're gonna 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, it's all right for now 

She has plans for moving on if she can make it somehow 

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 an angel stands beside her, points out to the door 

And said, "Today you're gonna soar like an 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"
