Song from 1991
As If Eden Were Here
© 1991 Jesse Slokum
Love is such a lonely word
When it's spoken with the fear of losing
Nothing can compare to the sorrow
Trust is such a lying word
When it's spoken with the thought of losing
It's almost like stealing tomorrow
Words can be used to separate us from the whole
Words can be walls, words can be windows of the soul
Hope is such a hollow word
When there's nothing left for us to hope for
Nothing can compare to the sadness
Sane is such a trying word
When it doesn't even help us cope,
Or, relieve the sense of utter madness
Hate is such a hellish word
When there's nothing left for us to say
Nothing can compare to the heart's death
Lust is such a prying word
When it yearns for what will only decay
Words can be used to separate us from the whole
Words can be walls, words can be windows of the soul
Love can be a Healing word
When it's uttered in the midst of giving
We bring about truth quite clear to say
Love is then so deeply heard
When it betokens one everliving
We sing as if Eden were here today
Love can be THE Healing word
When it's uttered in the midst of giving
We bring about truth quite clear to say
Love is then so deeply heard
When it betokens one everliving
We sing as if Eden were here today
We sing as if Eden were here today
We sing as if Eden were here...
