The Gardener
Oh I met him in the garden
And he called my name
I'd been watching him in the open
But I was ashamed
Cause I knew he was
What I could never be
It felt like a thousand years
Passed by in a flash
I sold my souls and tears
For approval and cash
Now I knew for sure
What I could never be
Now we're back in the garden
And I see him again
He's a stone's throw away
Saying his amen's
The spirit's still willing
For what I could never be
Here's a garden on a hill
With just three trees
His mamma is still
clinging to me
He's looking to me
To be what I could never be
I'll race you to the garden
Where we laid him down
The tomb is open
Angels around
I finally believe
In what I can never be
The gardener prunes
He'll bear fruit through me
