AWAKE IN THE GARDEN
© 1996 Betty Jean Skufca

Adam and Eve in the garden of love
Asleep by the water, warmed from above
Not knowing the difference between now and then
Til a slither of gemstones glides thru the glen

The snake is excited, it senses the fruit
"Let's eat the apples" it whispers, tho mute
We'll have a party and play pretend games
I'll give you knowledge and you will have names

So Adam and Eve then travel the years
Counting their footsteps and seeing with mirrors
The snake is so dreaded that no one has fun
After much suffering they wake up as one

They live in the garden of only what's true
The snake isn't sorry --- it learned something too

(Chorus)

Awake in the garden
Knowing at last
All is a dream then
The snake and the past
