O light shine down on me
You know what I need
Shine down on me
Shine down on the garden
Shine down on the garden
Sweet earth alive under me
You know what I need
Cradle me like a seed
As I lay in the garden
As I lay in the garden
O wise and beautiful tree
Standing high over me
Oh the things you have seen
Tell me your story in the garden
Tell it to me in the garden
And tell me
How long have we slept
How long have we wept
There's work to be done
Sky above
So vast and so deep
You know what I need
Rain down on me
Rain down on the garden
Rain down on the garden
O light surrounding me
Sweet mystery
In everything I see
Come and find me in the garden
Come and find me in the garden
And tell me
How long have we slept
How long have we wept
There's work to be done
In the garden
In the garden
In the garden
