Verse 1
Hey you there with the big gun
What you gonna do?
Where you gonna run?
When it all hits the fan
And you know it will
But you don’t care
‘Cause you don’t really know what it means
To care about yourself or anyone else
Verse 2
And I know you’ve got a story
A story that you can’t tell anyone
At least that’s what you think
And I know some kind of crazy went down
A number of years ago
And you hid it down deep inside
Chorus 1
And now the garden’s on fire
The trees are burning up outside
I want to run to the rescue
But I get tied up inside
Verse 3
And girl, I know you didn’t grow up
Dreaming this is how your life would be
Your heart is like a stone
And you know
The only way to get through
Is to push aside your soul
Verse 4
Tell me do you hear the breathing
The groaning of the earth breathing
Waiting for the day it will all be made new again
And all the tears will be washed away
Chorus 2
And now the garden’s on fire
The trees are burning up outside
I want to run to the rescue
But I get tied up inside
And now the garden’s on fire
And still the river’s running through
It’s never over when it’s over
We can all be made new
Verse 5
Life here
Tell me how you came to be here
Is this where your journey ends
Or is this how your life begins?
