"Anderson"
When You Were A Child You Were So Young and Free
Bridled and enslaved and measured for thy mind, they
brought you here when you were young.  the water remembers
your laughter and the strength of your body as you rode the waves
But they Broke Your Spirit that was so wild and free
They Put You Into an Eternal Cage and Told You Jesus was Enough
And Jesus was your only comforter so much of those long years
and your beauty faded and you grew weary, tired and hopeless and sad
reflecting on yourself as a girl you say, you were a sinner then
and that you have learned so much, so much from the pain and suffering
you say that jesus loves the sick and poor and less fortunate
you say he was bringing you into His Glorious reign by breaking your spirit
you sing hallelujah as your legs and body fail you, as gravity and age take their way
but still i see you in Anderson county and i see you at once a child and also a broken soul
When you Were a Child You Were So Young And Free
I Pray the Waters Still Remember Me
In Jesus Name,
Amen!
