Charles Wesley Godwin
Here in Eden
[Verse 1]
Imagine there's a garden
Visualize a spring
It's a hard way of living
In the valley with no rain
But I feel it down in my bones
I'm warnin' of a flood
You lack the sense or know-how
To see what's up above
[Chorus 1]
So I don't mind placing bets
On the dirt beneath my feet
I won't mind layin' to rest
Any doubt that you may keep
Are you awake or are you sleeping?
Are you fixing or are you breaking?
Are you staying or are you leaving?
While I'm building here in Eden
I'm building here in Eden
[Verse 2]
Save it with the blame game
I've heard it all before
Ain't nothing holdin' you down
'Cept your own feet on the floor
So go on, roll your sleeves up
Put your hands down in the dirt
It's alright to follow your heart
And take what you deserve
[Chorus 2]
So I don't mind placing bets
On the dirt beneath your feet
I won't mind layin' to rest
Any doubt that you may keep
Are you awake or are you sleeping?
Are you fixing or are you breaking?
Are you staying or are you leaving?
While I'm building here in Eden
I'm building here in Eden
[Verse 3]
I don't need imagination
Take a look around
It's the backbone of a nation
With a rhododendron crown
[Chorus 3]
I don't mind placing bets
On the dirt beneath our feet
I won't mind layin' to rest
Any doubt that they may keep
Are we awake or are we sleeping?
Are we fixing or are we breaking?
Are we staying or are we leaving?
While I'm building here in Eden
I'm building here in Eden
I'm building here in Eden
I'm building here in Eden
