Rise Above Eden

[Verse 1]
I wasn't there on Eden's darkest day
When Satan called and sin obeyed
And left behind the scars of fallen man
Even though all the years have come and gone
The line between the right and wrong
Tries to keep us from God's perfect plan

[Chorus]
I could blame it on Adam
And say I never had a chance
Lay the case for all my failures on some broken circumstance
And say I'm a victim
As if it would set me free
When the truth is just as close as Calvary
Where Jеsus went because Hе wanted me
To rise above Eden

[Verse 2]
He didn't just call me to a hiding place
A better life of deeper faith
Then leave me to just find it on my own
He didn't just say I was forgiven then
To go on living in my sin
Even though the Father must have known

[Chorus]
I could blame it on Adam
And say I never had a chance
Lay the case for all my failures on some broken circumstance
And say I'm a victim
As if it would set me free
When the truth is just as close as Calvary
Where Jesus went because He wanted me
To rise above Eden

[Bridge]
In my ache for holiness, I feel the pull of all that makes me human
And there are days when everything within

[Chorus]
Wants to blame it on Adam
And say I never had a chance
Lay the case for all my failures on some broken circumstance
And say I'm a victim
As if it would set me free
When the truth is just as close as Calvary
Where Jesus went because He wanted me
To rise above Eden

[Outro]
I wanna rise above Eden
