Rosanne Cash - Child of Steel Lyrics

I'd give a lifetime baby
To see you smile
If you could give your troubles over
For just a little while
And look at the truth
It's right here staring at you
Oh, angels bow when you walk by
And the rest of us here have always known why

[Chorus]
Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not re-veal
And the heart opens slow and it takes time to heal
But you can let go, It'll all turn to gold
My sweet child of steel

And I watch you walk through fire
When clear water runs near
I watch your heart break open wide
A heart I hold so dear
But look at the truth
It could burn a hole right through you
Oh, angels bow and cover their eyes
And the rest of us here could just break down and cry

[Chorus: x2]
