Meager Eden

I don't believe it

How could I believe it

We were just talking today

Was there a reason

Well I can't see it

And I don't know what to say

Are we just careening off the face

Of a slowly spinning disk

And all we ever see is the outer edge of it

Well I don't know

I couldn't tell you

If we go around a hundred times

They'll put our names on local television

That's about the best we can do

Maybe so

It's still too few

Don't let me harden

I want to plant a garden

Artillery tilled up the ground

My meager Eden

Keeps me believing

Through death somehow all life is found

If we reach the end and no redemption

Dries our eyes in this dimension

And grief is not erased in resurrection

I won't know

I'll never see it

Maybe everyone who's ever lived

Just closed their eyes and that was it

The universe is filled with only emptiness

But gardens grow

So I don't believe it

I don't believe it
