They said there was only one man who lived a perfect life
But the world wasn’t ready for what they couldn’t believe
Even the rock upon which the church was built knew fear
The power of man on earth is what made his faith leave

Life used to be about food and shelter for your family
But life is not kind to a man who rolls up his sleeves
A man gave his land to the children who planted flowers
But when he died peace for a day was something to grieve

The candle flickered and yet the wax remained
It was his time to run and close the window
He wanted to live life without worry of tomorrow
But now tomorrow waited with the news of sorrow

An angel laid her head on a garden hoping nobody would notice
Sent by heaven, she thought of what man could not conceive
An angel was blamed for the fall of man but no one knew why
She wanted to tell them but only God knows why he chose Eve

A lonely man cried, life blamed him for making them feel their guilt
The holes could not hold water because nobody taught him to weave
He knew that people thought it was his fault that he lost her long ago
She was all he could think of but lost love only knows how to deceive

The candle burned brightly and yet the wax was gone
It was his time to run and open the window
He wanted to live life without regret of yesterday
But yesterday reminded him why God made a rainbow
