When I Was A Child - Pearls Before Swine[00:00:01]
When I was a child I lived all alone[00:00:09]
All my trials I bore them alone[00:00:21]
Sometimes I would smile but often I'd grieve[00:00:28]
Growing up was learning to disbelieve[00:00:38]
When I was a child there was me there was them[00:00:56]
They were all holy 'cause I was in sin[00:01:06]
They were the enemy but I was the king[00:01:14]
I was a leper until you came in[00:01:24]
You were a messenger coming from them[00:01:42]
They never touched me 'cause I was afraid[00:01:53]
You came with your holy hands [00:01:59]
Your holy eyes[00:02:05]
Blessed me with touches and touched me with eyes[00:02:10]
When I was the child of all the untouched[00:02:27]
Lepers left over when he left the cross[00:02:37]
But you camei n darkness incense and eyes[00:02:44]
Which your blessed worlds and touched of you are main[00:02:53]
I was still breathing sweet lies from a song[00:03:11]
A saint in the evening a leper at dawn[00:03:20]
I carried my own day of death through the land[00:03:29]
But you taught me to live with a secret of hands[00:03:37]
Now growing up is learning to look at the light[00:03:55]
You're not always wrong if you're not always right[00:04:04]
So when it's all over your miracle through[00:04:13]
I'll take what you lent me and rescue you too[00:04:21]
