lyrics

east of the garden there's a place we can rest
the fruit trees are full and the well's bottomless
we wander until we call out in distress
you answered and we have been blessed

you can never tell if it came from the ground
or down from the clouds when we looked a round
we walked the whole earth until food had been found
you answered and we heard the sound

we hiked the land until we found the rock
sick of the rain and we were cursing the walk
we laid a foundation with various blocks
and blessed are the hands of the clock

but watch what you build with your hands on your own
no matter on sand or the sturdiest stone
i've asked you to trust in the land i have shown
but you built up your tower alone

we caught the fish and we shot at the birds
and at our feet creation served
we spoke of our greatness and spoke of the word
in a language that all people heard

and when all the sweat settled down on our brow
and the fields were all plowed for a life on the town
we sat back and drank our work now world renowned
and bowed down at the feet of our cow

but now we're alone in a pile of ash
gnashing our teeth at the streets full of trash
blaming the fall on any who pass
and no one remembers how to ask

but watch what you build with your hands on your own
no matter on sand or the sturdiest stone
i've asked you to trust in the land i have shown
but you built up your tower alone


east of the garden there's a place we can rest
the fruit trees are full and the well's bottomless
we wander until we call out in distress
you answered and we have been blessed
yes, you answered and we have been blessed
