Ellis Paul - Gentle Arms Of Eden Lyrics
on a sleepy endless ocean when the world lay in a dreamthere was rhythm in the splash and roll, but not a voice to singso the moon shone on the breakers and the morning warmed the wavestill a single cell did jump and hum for joy as though to saythis is my home, this is my only homethis is the only sacred ground that i have ever knownand should i stray in th dark night alonerock me goddess in the gentle arms of edenthen the day shone bright and rounder til the one turned into twoand the two into ten thousand things, and old things into newand on some virgin beach head one lonesome critter crawledand he looked about and shouted out in his most astonished drawlthis is my home ...then all the sky was buzzin and the ground was carpet greenand the wary children of the wood went dancin in betweenand the people sang rejoicing when the field was glad with grainthis song of celebration from their cities on the plainthis is my home ...now there's smoke across the harbor, and there's factories on the shoreand the world is ill with greed and will and enterprise of warbut i will lay my burden in the cradle of your graceand the shining beaches of your love and the sea of your embracethis is my home ...
