Eleven Again

Beaver Nelson

I wanna be eleven again
Wanna believe in heaven again
Feeling safe in my home
Touch the face of the unknown
It was with me all day
God gives
And we give it away

Oh the hand that I would hold
And the hand I wanted to
And all the stories I was told
Never doubted they were true
And the ditch where I would go
Whenever I was sad
All the things I did not know
The nightmares I never had

I wanna be eleven again
Wanna believe in heaven again
Feeling safe in my home
Touch the face of the unknown
It was with me all day
God gives
And we give it away

Walkin' through flower beds
And always gettin' caught
I found myself an arrowhead
In the grocery parking lot
And the pen that I would hold
Picture yet to be drawn
Always wonderin' where we'd go
Never wonderin' where I'd gone

I wanna be eleven again
Wanna believe in heaven again
Feeling safe in my home
Touch the face of the unknown
It was with me all day
God gives
I'd give it all away

Just to be eleven again
Wanna believe in heaven again
Feeling safe in my home
Touch the face of the unknown
It was with me all day
God gives
And we give it away
