East Of Eden Lyrics - Singles - Macdonald Michael

The world goes mad around us 

While I stand by and watch you sleep 

In the hope that harm won't find us 

I pray the Lord our souls to keep 

Does he see us here 

Are we precious in his sight 

Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball 

He hurled out into the night 

Somewhere east of Eden. 

From the first time that we stumble 

We learn that nothing is assured 

However hoplessly we tumble 

It's by the grace of God that we endure. 

If there's some better place 

Far from all that's wrong 

But if God in his wisdom 

Saw fit to put you here 

Then this is where I belong 

Somewhere east of Eden. 

Maybe he laughs in our face 

By way of the cold hard fact 

That these moments framed in time and space 

Are the same ones nothing can bring back. 

Maybe we exist and wander through this world 

Just to lead each other home 

From somewhere east of Eden.
