Child Of Steel - Rosanne Cash

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

'Cause the soul takes its blows and it does not reveal

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

'Cause the soul takes its blows and it does not reveal

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

The soul takes its blows and it does not reveal

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
