"Childhood Skies"
Verse 1 (Elvis-inspired)
I remember runnin' wild, through the summer sun
Chasin' fireflies, till the day was done
Hide and seek, behind the oak tree
Laughter echoed, carefree as could be
Chorus (Dylan-inspired)
Oh, the childhood skies, they watched over me
A faithful God, keepin' me free
From the Mississippi delta, to the Arkansas hills
He's been with me, through every trial and thrill
Verse 2 (Dylan-inspired)
I recall nights, sittin' 'round the radio
Listenin' to Hank, and the Grand Ole Opry show
Dreamin' 'bout the day, I'd take the stage
Singin' my heart out, with a rebel's rage
Chorus (Elvis-inspired)
Oh, the childhood skies, they watched over me
A faithful God, keepin' me free
From the Memphis streets, to the folk scene's rise
He's been with me, through every strife and surprise
Bridge
We've seen the best, and the worst of times
But through it all, His mercies shine
Like a beacon light, in the darkest night
Guiding us forward, with all His might
Chorus
Oh, the childhood skies, they watched over me
A faithful God, keepin' me free
From the roots of rock, to the folk revival's cry
He's been with me, till this very day
Outro
Now we're old, but our spirits remain
Childhood dreams, still burning like a flame
We'll keep on singin', our songs of praise
For the faithfulness, of the One who stays.
