The Other Garden
Yearning for Renewal: Seeking Redemption Beyond Brokenness
Lyrics
I stepped away from the garden
I chose to leave the garden.
So intent on covering my shame
Focused on concealing my disgrace.
The thoughts of all I had broken
Contemplating the consequences of my actions and the people I've hurt.
Building on the dirt of the day
Constructing a life amidst the challenges of everyday existence.
Inside the tomb of confusion
Within a confusing and confining space.
I have spent a lifetime away
Spent a significant amount of time distant from reality.
From even dreams or allusions
Avoiding both aspirations and illusions.
By candlelight I've witnessed decay
Observing the decay of things by candlelight.
Of all the men who'd chosen their wars
Reflecting on men who chose conflict.
And all the men that had given up on fighting for the cause
Considering those who gave up the fight for a noble cause.
To re-instate the the harmony that was given to us
Aspiring to restore the lost harmony given to humanity.
When water was yet land and the sun bled with the stars
Recalling a time when water was land and the sun intertwined with stars.
I'm bleeding for a new beginning
Bleeding emotionally for a fresh start.
A path to walk free from disease
Pleading for a path free from affliction.
Begging for a new beginning
Desiring a chance to rectify the Earth's state.
To put the earth right back on its knees
Expressing a wish to humble the Earth.
I'm waiting for the second coming
Anticipating a spiritual renewal.
Screaming out at the heaven above need the power of that love
Urgently calling out for divine intervention and love's power.
Praying for a new beginning
Petitioning for a chance to start anew.
It's colder here without the touch
Feeling a sense of coldness without a loving touch.
Impatience went from push
Impatience escalated from a gentle push to forceful shoving.
To shove
New beginning
Yearning for a fresh start.
For a new beginning
Expressing a need for a new beginning.
Praying for a new beginning
Seeking a restart through prayer.
Praying for a new beginning
Repeated prayer for a new beginning.
