The Garden

[Chorus: Falana]
In the garden
There was you
And there was me
Everything was perfect
In between x2

[VERSE 1: Tec ]
I picture you in the garden
Back then when we started
Used to walk with God
Separating was the hardest
Before our departure when
We had to walk in shame
Before the deceit
When love was all remain
Before they took our history
And sold it back
Before they formulated plans
Just to hold us back
In the garden where our vision was so intact
And i feel we have a room
And i know in fact
The resonance is at a higher level
We try to spark up the minds
We can never let the flame of the fire settle (show dem)
Will we ever taste the victory
Got independence but wasn't ready
For the trickery
Like vulture sucking Muammar Gaddafi up in tripoli
I wonder if he knew
Or saw the future vividly
How long this giant want dey sleep for
Promise the change
I wonder who dey keep score
The fall is harder
When the giant starts to stumble
I hate to see the garden
Slowly turning into a jungle
They talk say I be rapper
Make I chill and remain humble
But run away from demons
Doesn't mean they won't confront you
Never meant to take it deep
Just expressing a point of view
Realise this train of thought
Is only meant for just a few
I understand if your plans
Is to come and dance fine[?]
So we back to the program
As we sip this palm wine
In the Garden

[Chorus: Falana]
In the garden
There was you
And there was me
Everything was perfect
In between x2

[VERSE 2: Ghost]
I took my dream love on a trip, using imagination
Love was the passport
Our thoughts, the travel agent
First stop? Eden of course
The window seat is yours Mi Amor
I'll take the aisle, whatever to make you smile
I snatch clouds from the sky just to make it rain
Cos true love is hard to find like a needle in hay
Come with me and escape
Wide-awake dreaming feels strange
Cos we naked in this garden but vulnerable and you're brave
When dealing with affairs of the heart, you need finessin'
Cos everybody's got old wounds that need some dressing
When it feels too good to be true, reassess it
Live moves fast but taking things slow can be refreshing
I'm talking 'bout love, not ownership or obsession
When it's real, it's real
Leaving no reason to question
I like to think when two souls connect, it means it's destined
The outcome being either a blessing or a lesson but
Really it feels like we both from different planets
And it's only a queen from Venus, trojan from Mars
You're telling me that I don't appreciate what we have and
I retort by saying "well, you don't know what you want"
But then my mind replays that old tune by Janet
When in the cold, you don't know what you have till it's gone
"Could I live without you though", I find myself asking
That moment of clarity is what inspired this song
In the garden

[Chorus: Falana]
In the garden
There was you
And there was me
Everything was perfect
In between x2

[Verse 3: Falana]
Does the shade keep you warm
Turn your back against the truth
I try to understand
I'm not that different from you
Guard your spill with your life
Before you end up like the rest
Dancing, dancing
Blind to what comes next
(Ooooh)
Don't you run
Don't you hide
Show your face
Show your heart
