Lyrics

At nine
The preacher's golden son
Sleeping pulpit one
Never felt the need to cry
Before he spoke
He knew the strength of hope
But faith's an illusion
And glory a lie
A little healthy fear
Will keep our savior near
That's what his father preached
The day before he died
And who can say
What made the poison tame
There was venom in his veins you know
But rapture in his eyes
Do you question glory
Could the faithless form a line
We've got hope for sale
Kentucky's sacred child at nine
Times were hard
Down by the old churchyard
The preacher's wife led Adam nine
Skipping through the mud
To the waitin' man
She said you'll understand
There's kindness in the child's heart
No poison in his blood
And in the fallin' rain
She watched them pull away
She waited for a lightning bolt
She howled out for the flood
And in the years to come
He'd learn to trust no one
But the bully-faced announcer
And the gold and silver gods
Do you question glory
Could the faithless form a line
We've got hope for sale
Kentucky's sacred child at nine
They came from near and far
To see Kentucky's star
The preacher's golden child
With the venom in his veins
And they called it faith
The savior kept them sane
A trick or intervention
Sometimes it's all the same
And they left restored
Doubt and suspicion cured
Angels walk among us
And they rise above the flames
And he showed no fear
Each time the snakes drew near
Hell had found him long before
He'd lie down in the rain
Do you question glory
Could the faithless form a line
We've got hope for sale
Kentucky's sacred child at nine
