Apple a Day

Thank God, life's uncertain
Thank God we get so scared
Can't see behind God's curtain
This world seems so unfair

Imagine life the other way
Picture-perfect every day
Indoor weather makes this blue sky stay
So they say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day

This climb, makes us stumble
Ten million ways to fall
Our childish faith will crumble
This world will break us all

Imagine life the other way
A cozy fishbowl on display
With no chance that we might drift astray
So we say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day

When you get there life is easy
Winning every game you play

But every day is just the same
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Same old re-run on some child-proof stage
So they say: Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day

In the land of childish wonder
Climb the fence and run away
Pretty to visit, but it's hell to stay
Vacation in Eden
Bring an apple a day
