Lyrics
Charlie was about eleven When he made a dare with Kevin Bet him he could walk across the pond 'Bout the time he reached the middle The creaking ice became too brittle He fell through and right there he was gone. Charlie's mom was in the kitchen Puttin' up the mornin' dishes When the Sheriff knocked upon the door Just how long had he been under? Said it'd been near half an hour She sank down and her knees hit the floor. Chorus Heaven's always open on life's highway Where the long back ribbon stretches far below Seen a lot of wonders going my way But only love can turn the key to Heaven's door. Suddenly the child awakened No one knows just how he made it Or how he came back better than before Charlie's plight was more than common 'Cause he had a praying momma She held him tight when he walked through that door. Charlie grew in strength and stature And he gained some understanding 'Bout what it takes to save a drowning man Someone had to tell the story But I'll spare you all the gories He jumped in and right here's where I stand. (Chorus) Copyright 2009 Temper Young Music
