I Remember the Garden

Genesis 1

OUT OF THE GROUND,

THE WHEAT, THE BREAD, THE LIFE

OUT OF THE GROUND, THE SWEET,

THE FRUIT, THE SPICE

THEN EYES TO SEE, AND HANDS TO TOUCH

THE SCENT, THE SOUND, THE KNOWING

THAT YOU GAVE SO MUCH

AND WHERE IT ALL STARTED

IT’S ALL COMING BACK TO ME

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, INNOCENT AND FREE

AND I REMEMBER A GARDEN

AND YOU WERE ALL THAT WE HONORED

I REMEMBER MY FATHER

OUT OF THE GROUND, THE FLESH,

THE FORM, THE FRAME

ALL OF THE STARS ARE MADE

FROM JUST THE SAME

AND IT’S ALL HERE, LIKE THE AIR WE BREATH

WE BREATHE THE LOVE OF LIFE

THAT YOU GIVE EVERYWHERE

AND WHERE IT ALL STARTED

IT’S ALL COMING BACK TO ME

A BEAUTIFUL LIFE, INNOCENT AND FREE

AND I REMEMBER A GARDEN

AND YOU WERE ALL THAT WE HONORED

I REMEMBER MY FATHER

WHO IS MAN THAT YOU REGARD US?

LIFTED UP FROM SOIL AND STARDUST

YOU GAVE US WINGS TO RISE ABOVE AND FLY AWAY
