The Garden

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What if I stepped off of the treadmill, planted roots and let 'em run? And tried to breathe a little deeper, took a second in the sun? I reached the summit of the mountain, I could see it crystal clear? And taste the bitter fruit of freedom, sowed in the valley of my fears? Ooh, ooh Meet me there [Chorus] Where tender memories sweeten just like berries on the vine There ain't a thing that grows without gravity and time So, you water the flowers, and I'll pull up the weeds And spend more time laying with you, darling Let's get back into the garden Ooh, ooh [Verse 2] We'll call it "misguided ambition" What it took to understand That life is not to be accomplished to find the joy of open hands Cast our cares into the clouds Sink our feet into the mud And if it rains, we'll dance right in it Baptized in simple love Ooh, ooh Meet me there [Chorus] Where tender memories sweeten just like berries on the vine There ain't a thing that grows without gravity and time So, you water the flowers, and I'll pull up the weeds And spend more time laying with you, darling Let's get back into the garden Ooh, ooh Let's get back to the garden [Outro] Because life is just too short to spend it chasing after wind Ain't no use in climbing mountains just to come back down again Ooh, ooh Meet me there Ooh Meet me there Meet me there
