Shattered Garden

VERSE 1
As she wings through the hazy dawn
Can you hear her song?
Woodlands bruised and battered
A tattered branch holds her nest
Do you see the scars
Last trees of the forest
It was supposed to be evergreen
CHORUS
It’s a long way back to the garden
To a time when the air was clear
When the trails weren’t paved with silence
And the wild flowers still appeared
Do we close our eyes -- do we realize?
That hеarts can be hardened
Likе scattered stones
In the shattered garden
VERSE 2
As she soars the wildfire sky
Do you rub your eyes?
Feel the temperature rising
If she falls to the ground
Would you hear the sound
The last of her kind dying
Is anyone listening?
CHORUS
It’s a long way back to the garden
To a time when the air was clear
When the trails weren’t paved with silence
And the wild flowers still appeared
Do we close our eyes -- do we realize?
That hearts can be hardened
Like scattered stones
In the shattered garden
In the shattered garden
BRIDGE
The greenery always gave us peace
Now it’s concrete slabs beneath our feet
And jagged rigs grind a beat
Churning fields to rocky heaps
And all the earth is dying
CHORUS 3
It’s a long way back to the garden
To a time when the air was clear
When the trails weren’t paved with silence
And the wild flowers still appeared
Do we close our eyes -- do we realize?
It’s a long way back to the garden
To a time when the air was clear
When the trails weren’t paved with silence
And the wild flowers still appeared
Do we close our eyes -- do we realize?
That hearts can be hardened
Like scattered stones
In the shattered garden
Light the way song of nature
Light the way song of nature
Light the way song of nature
