In The Garden

Song Lyrics with YouTube Video

By Steve LancePublished 4 months ago 1 min read

[Verse 1]

In the garden where the first light fell

Beneath the trees where shadows dwell

A serpent wound around the bough

And whispered things not spoken now

[Chorus]

"Why not taste what you've been told to fear?

Why not know what God keeps hidden here?

One small bite to open up your eyes

Don't you want to be equally wise?"

[Verse 2]

Eve stood beneath that laden tree

Caught between what is and what could be

The fruit hung heavy, bright and gold

A story waiting to unfold

[Chorus]

"Why not taste what you've been told to fear?

Why not know what God keeps hidden here?

One small bite to open up your eyes

Don't you want to be equally wise?"

[Bridge]

And in that moment, reaching high

She chose to question, not comply

The sweetness turned to bitter truth

The cost of knowing, the loss of youth

In The Garden
