I Want a Forest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's blood in the sky
It bleeds from the land
Behind those eyes
Diamonds turn to sand
Such a beautiful fall
I saw the surface break
The water's so cold
Your body shakes
On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up
Oh!
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in God's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'll make it a forest
You cut your ideas, in your own way
The silly little plans, the games you play
You try to make me lose faith
We're all made that way
There's a diamond in the rough
There's a needle in the hay
On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up
Oh!
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in God's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in God's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'll make it a forest
