There Is a Garden

Lyrics

I was standing in a garden A garden gone to seed Choked with every kind of weed There were twisted trees around me All black against the sky Black and bare and dead and dry My father called "Come out of this place!" I wanted to go, but there was no way No sign, no path, to show me the way Then another voice was calling It barely could be heard I remember every word "There is a garden "come with me, come with me "A shining gardеn "come and see, come and see "Therе love will teach us "Harmony and grace "harmony and grace "Then love will lead us "to a quiet place." Then I ran to find the singer I longed to see his face He could free me from this place Every step I took was terror The ground beneath me burned Stones were everywhere I turned And worst of all There was the noise Angry shouts, furious cries And a roar Like the roar of millions of flies! Through it all his voice was calling But now it seemed quite near Soft and warm and strong and clear "There is a garden "come with me..." "Come with me." Then desire took hold inside me To touch his saving hand Just to touch his tender hand And I knew what he would look like So handsome, so serene Just my age, just seventeen I saw him then, I saw his face I ran to him He vanished like smoke I reached, I called and I awoke "There love will teach us "harmony and grace "harmony and grace "Then love will lead us "To a quiet place, to a quiet place."
