LYRICS VERSE 1 As she wings through the hazy dawn Can you hear her song? Woodlands bruised and battered A tattered branch holds her nest Do you see the scars Last trees of the forest It was supposed to be evergreen CHORUS It’s a long way back to the garden To a time when the air was clear When the trails weren’t paved with silence And the wild flowers still appeared Do we close our eyes -- do we realize? That hearts can be hardened Like scattered stones In the shattered garden VERSE 2 As she soars the wildfire sky Do you rub your eyes? Feel the temperature rising If she falls to the ground Would you hear the sound The last of her kind dying Is anyone listening? CHORUS It’s a long way back to the garden To a time when the air was clear When the trails weren’t paved with silence And the wild flowers still appeared Do we close our eyes -- do we realize? That hearts can be hardened Like scattered stones In the shattered garden BRIDGE The greenery always gave us peace Now it’s concrete slabs beneath our feet And jagged rigs grind a beat Churning fields to rocky heaps And all the earth is dying CHORUS 3 It’s a long way back to the garden To a time when the air was clear When the trails weren’t paved with silence And the wild flowers still appeared Do we close our eyes -- do we realize? It’s a long way back to the garden To a time when the air was clear When the trails weren’t paved with silence And the wild flowers still appeared Do we close our eyes -- do we realize? That hearts can be hardened Like scattered stones In the shattered garden #thwaitesglacier #globalwarming #climatechange #conservation #environmentalawareness #climatekarma #shatteredgarden Transcript
