Standing on the corner of hope and despair
Where promises disappear like smoke in the thin air
Angels walk on crutches past people on their knees
Where salvation is nothing but just a distant dream 
Walking on through a park of poisoned hungry veins
Passing a cathedral a voice cries “Jesus Saves”
Where father's eyes and alibis litter broken streets
Maybe when you're poor as dirt all you have are dreams 
False hopes pour down like a hard november rain
But still the sun shines through when they sing 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Salvation's only casualty is me
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES 
Through the pain, pride and shame somehow love remains
Maybe souls are just like glass more beautiful when 
stained
Like flowers grow through cracks in the walls trying to 
reach the sun
A baby's born and lives to learn that we can rise above
We can rise above 
Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Suddenly salvation's all I see
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES 
Oh I'm down on my knees
Begging someone please
I'm down on my knees
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES 
Standing on the corner of possibilities
With a coffee cup half filled up and a pocket full of 
dreams 
Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Suddenly salvation's all around me
In MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
MY CHURCH OF MEMORIES
