My Church Of Memories

Standing on the corner of hope and despairWhere promises disappear like smoke in the thin airAngels walk on crutches past people on their kneesWhere salvation is nothing but just a distant dreamWalking on through a park of poisoned hungry veinsPassing a cathedral a voice cries 'Jesus SavesWhere father's eyes and alibis litter broken streetsMaybe when you're poor as dirt all you have are dreamsFalse hopes pour down like a hard november rainBut still the sun shines through when they singHallelujahHallelujahHallelujahSalvation's only casualty is meIn MY CHURCH OF MEMORIESMY CHURCH OF MEMORIESThrough the pain, pride and shame somehow love remainsMaybe souls are just like glass more beautiful when stainedLike flowers grow through cracks in the walls trying to reach the sunA baby's born and lives to learn that we can rise aboveWe can rise aboveHallelujahHallelujahHallelujahSuddenly salvation's all I seeIn MY CHURCH OF MEMORIESMY CHURCH OF MEMORIESOh I'm down on my kneesBegging someone pleaseI'm down on my kneesIn MY CHURCH OF MEMORIESStanding on the corner of possibilitiesWith a coffee cup half filled up and a pocket full of dreamsHallelujahHallelujahHallelujahSuddenly salvation's all around meIn MY CHURCH OF MEMORIESMY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
