To Leave It Behind

When we were greened and young as shoots

The world took off beneath our boots

Oh we were picked when we were young

Gentle words and modesty

When we turned towards the tide

Choirs screamed in their delight

Oh I am ripe and ready now

My heart is heavy, it's going to fall

Out of my body

Unto love, unto love

Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall

Out of my body

Would have died without

Your gardens of eternal life

That you kept so well, kept so well

Could have lived without

The fall into the tragedy

But I'm not Adam

And you're not eve

They were brave enough to leave

When they were told leave it behind

Leave it behind

It behind

They were brave enough to leave

When they were told

Leave it behind
