lyrics

Living in the Garden - then cast out
Manna from Heaven to famine and drought
Constant visitations – You never come here now
Still seeking communion – where are you now?

We built your temples now abandoned to dust
We followed as commanded with devotion, love, and trust
We’re waiting for anything to justify our service
A simple word from you would suffice

Give us paradise - then wash it all away
Bring us to be, to flourish, and then simply fly away

Why generate an afterlife, abandon us, then let us fall astray?

No mortal man may ever look upon the face of God
Even as the waves receded, stars descended from the sky
We persist against all odds
So we lean against the gods

We ask again to help us understand
We miss the calm caress of cold angelic hands
We call out to you this one last time
For divine intervention
For some kind of sign
We lean against the gods
We really don’t feel like playing anymore
We lean against the gods

Music and sound: Adam McLean
Lyric and voice: Gregory Francis
