Hook
There’s a garden in my mind where the shadows like to grow
Every whisper of temptation sound sweeter than I know
But a voice in the wind say the truth every time
Life in the roots if I stay on the vine
There’s a garden in my mind where the war run deep
Serpents in the grass when the soul don’t sleep
But grace still bloom when the light come through
And the Gardener restore what the darkness once knew
⸻
Verse 1
Started with a thought like a seed in the ground
Little whisper saying “no one else around”
Fruit looking good, truth bending slow
Same old lie from the garden long ago
Pride in the soil where the ego take root
Eyes on the branch when the lie bear fruit
Mind say taste it, heart say wait
But temptation always knocking at the gate
I seen how a moment turn peace into dust
Seen how desire make the righteous lose trust
Every fallen leaf tell a story of the past
How the serpent talk slick when the test come fast

Verse 2
Then I heard footsteps in the cool of the air
Same voice asking softly “why you hiding in there?”
Not anger in the tone, more mercy in the sound
Like a father calling children when the lost get found
Said the cross was planted where the old tree fell
Where the curse took root, now redemption dwell
Blood in the soil where the mercy ran deep
Now the garden can live where the broken hearts weep
Now I guard my thoughts like a gate to the land
Pull the weeds when the lies try to grow in the sand
Cause the same God walking in Eden that day
Still planting new life when we choose His way
⸻
Outro
Yeah…
The war ain’t always in the streets.
Sometimes it’s in the garden.
Right behind the eyes.
But the same God who walked with Adam…
Still walks with us.
