Homesick for Eden
by Paul Smith

Album: Back to Who I Am

A garden so green
Where water rain clean
And animals roam without names
And love was a girl
Who walked through the world
Where passion was pure as a flame
In the back of our minds
Is a time before time
And a sad irreversible fact
We can't seem to think why left there
And we can't seem to find our way back

All of us are homesick for Eden
We yearn to return
To a land we've never known
Deep is the need
To go back to the garden
A burning so strong
For a place we belong
A place that we know is home

Have you ever just cried
For no reason why
Like a child who's been left on his own?
We can't quite explain
The confusion or pain
So you live with a heartache alone
In the back of your mind
Is a place and a time
And an image of what should have been
And you know that you'll be happy
'Til you find your way back there again

All of us are homesick for Eden
We yearn to return
To a land we've never known
Deep is the need
To go back to the garden
A burning so strong
For a place we belong
A place that we know is home

We were made to live in His perfect love
We were meant to walk in His grace
And we'll never feel we are home again
'Til we see Him face to face

Deep is our need
To go back to the garden
A burning so strong
For the place we belong
To rest at His feet
In fellowship sweet
A place that we know is home
