Oh, the tragedy of Eden
all the torment and the pain
to be evicted from the Garden
never to return again.
Oh the sadness and the anguish
to be severed from the source
of life and hope and comfort
nothing left but the remorse.
To wander in a strange land
refugees from paradise
no home, no hope, no future
victims of our own device
Banished from perfection
from the presence of the One
who cherished us and made us.
No more moments in the sun.
Oh, the tragedy of Eden
emerging from the rubble
of rebellion in the Garden,
the source of all our trouble
