lyrics

Every man is fallen
Every woman knows
Every book on how to make love
Couldn't tell you how it grows
For every girl who lost it
To every boy who stole
For every broken marriage
Where two halves don't make a whole

Don't you miss the garden
Everything was clean
And we can't go back to see it now
But we feel what can't be seen

The night is almost over
The day is close at hand
When some will cross the river
To that blessed promised land
See the darkness running
See the outcast in
See the brilliant lamb of God
Who conquered all our sin

In the holy city
He will take his wife
And he'll wipe away the tears of all
Who come to drink his life

Hallelujah
