Church Kids (feat. CAIN)

Zach Williams

Compositor: Jonathan Smith / Tony Wood / Zach Williams

Well, we were there at the church when the doors were open
Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings
Daddy played the guitar and Momma sang
There's just something about that name

The preacher man used to close with a prayer
And: Raise your hands if you need saving
I lost track of how many times
I bowed my head and I closed my eyes

We were saved every Sunday, we were washеd by the blood
And we werе raised on Amazing Grace, a Bible Belt when we acted up
We were so far from perfect, more sinner than saint
We saw the good, the bad along the way
But still, somehow, we found our faith

That's who we were
That's how it was
That's what we did
We were just church kids

Yeah, me and my buddies in that back row
Flirtin’ with the girls and passing notes
'Round that campfire all together
Singing Friends Are Friends Forever
Lock-ins on Friday night, VBS in mid-July
Church bus broke down (mmh), side of the road (down side of the road)
Don't seem that long ago
We were

Saved every Sunday, we were washed by the blood
And we were raised on Amazing Grace, a Bible Belt when we acted up
We were so far from perfect, more sinner than saint
We saw the good, the bad along the way
But still, somehow, we found our faith

That's who we were
That's how it was
That's what we did
Yeah, we were just church kids

Hey, we were wild and free, and too young to know (too young to know)
Just how fast the time would go (time would go)
Looking back, it shaped our soul
Those days are gone, now I'm grown
Raising up my own
Church kids

Hey, all of us church kids
Just raising up church kids
