Lyrics

I once was in a garden

I once was in a garden
You should've seen the trees
I once was in a garden
One hundred twenty foot leaves

I once was in a garden
But then I had to go
I once was in a garden
There's so much I need to know

I stood at the base of a rose's face
`Cause I didn't know what to do
She said, "Love, by grace, the human race
Has rose seed in it, too."

I got down on my knees to thank the trees
For providing me the shade
I ran down to the river
The source, the live-giver
The water in which I wade

I uncovered my eyes to the bluest of skies
Then I opened my heart and prayed
That after the lies
I'd find myself wise
I'd know that I'd been betrayed

I once was in a garden
I heard the stones sing
I once was in a garden
We are one with everything

I once was in a garden
It was there I met a snake
I once was in a garden
What he said was no mistake

I once was in a garden
There were leaves and trees and dreams
I once was in a garden
Paradise ain't what it seems
