Waiting in the Garden

The thing about the bible is

the lack of empathy

It judges all the characters

without taking time to see

What if they did the right thing

even though it was a sin?

Nothing would be possible

if they never gave in

Cuz Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

But I see a snake in a tree

it says, "I beg your pardon"

I know that I shouldn't

but I stop and I ask

He says that he needs me

to do a little task

I look to the garden

that was safe and serene

It was the path I meant to take

but was it really for me?

I thought for a moment

not knowing what to do

Should I stay inside the lines

or crash and burn right through?

Cuz Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

But I see a snake in a tree

it says, "I beg your pardon"

"I hope that you listen

and just hear me out

It's your choice in the end my friend

if you want in or out"

"But Adam isn't the answer

because God says he' so

What you have been taught

isn't everything to know"

I didn't believe it at first

so I turned to walk away

God told me in the beginning

I'm to do it all his way

Cuz Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

But I see a snake in a tree

he says, "I beg your pardon"

Just then I learned a lesson

God isn't all he seems

He's just using me and Adam

to get the things out of his reach

Just what makes him so special

that he can rule over me?

Who said that he could be the king

and choose my fate for me?

But Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

But I see a snake in a tree

he says, "I beg your pardon"

"Adam is the route that's set

and laid out at your feet

But there is nothing wrong with wanting

what is out of reach"

"You have the choice to get it

if you're brave enough to try

I will admit it's risky but

nothing comes without a fight"

I shake my head and sigh

as I wrestle with my fate

Should I take the safe road

or listen to the snake?

Cuz Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

I see the snake in the tree

he says, "I beg your pardon"

My decisions are all made for me

by someone I don't know

But I want more from life

than being in God's show

So I took another breath

as I reached up for the fruit

I know it won't be easy

but at least I get to choose

While Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

I see the snake in the tree

I say, "I beg your pardon"

"I've lived my whole life

as a puppet on a stage

But thanks to you I know how

I can finally make that change"

I took the fruit to my lips

and took just a small bite

I could hear the heavens roar

and I knew the snake was right

And still Adam is waiting for me

waiting in the garden

He's living life on a stage

but I took the snake's pardon

Now you all may be wondering

why on earth I took that risk

It's true that I lost everything

I had before the sin

But just because the life for me

isn't the one God had in mind

Doesn't mean I'm not still a queen

who deserves heaven in the skies

And while Adam is still waiting

waiting for his next line

I'm living free and never been

so happy all my life.
