[Verse 1]
And there was day
And there was night
And there was dark
And there was light
There was the earth
There was the sky
And there in the tree
There crawled a lie

[Verse 2]
There in Eden
There was good (There in Eden there was good)
There in the garden
Where the Tree of Life stood (There in the garden where the Tree of Life stood)
There the snake was
There was pain (There the snake was there was pain)
And we're tryin' to get back
In the garden again (We're tryin' to get back in the garden again)

[Vocal solo]

[Verse 3]
There was fire
There was rain
There was talk
There was shame
They were moanin'
They were cryin' (Moanin', they were cryin')
But there still is a glimmer
In the big man's eye (Still is a glimmer in the big man's eye)
