Michael McDonald - East of Eden текст песни

By michael mcdonald

The world goes mad around us

As I stand by and watch you sleep

In the hope that harm wont find us

I pray the lord our souls to keep

Does he see us here?

Are we precious in his sight?

Or are we merely dust on this tiny ball?

He hurled out into the night

Somewhere east of eden

From the first time that we stumble

We learn that nothing is assurred

However hopelessly we tumble

Its by the grace of God that we endure

If theres some better place

Far from all thats wrong

But if God in his wisdom

Saw fit to put you here

Then here is where I belong

Somewhere east of eden

Maybe he laughs in our face

By way of the cold hard fact

That these moments framed in time and space

Are the same ones nothing can bring back

Maybe we exist and wonder through this world

Just to lead each other home

From somewhere east of eden
