My Church Of Memories

Standing on the corner of hope and despair

Where promises disappear like smoke in the thin air

Angels walk on crutches past people on their knees

Where salvation is nothing but just a distant dream

Walking on through a park of poisoned hungry veins

Passing a cathedral a voice cries “Jesus Saves”

Where father’s eyes and alibis litter broken streets

Maybe when you’re poor as dirt all you have are dreams

False hopes pour down like a hard november rain

But still the sun shines through when they sing

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Salvation’s only casualty is me

In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

Through the pain, pride and shame somehow love remains

Maybe souls are just like glass more beautiful when

stained

Like flowers grow through cracks in the walls trying to

reach the sun

A baby’s born and lives to learn that we can rise above

We can rise above

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Suddenly salvation’s all I see

In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

Oh I’m down on my knees

Begging someone please

I’m down on my knees

In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES

Standing on the corner of possibilities

With a coffee cup half filled up and a pocket full of

dreams

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Suddenly salvation’s all around me

In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
