Serpent In The Garden Waltz - words and music by Roger Gregg.

lyrics

Serpent In The Garden Waltz. 3’27”
Words & Music by Roger Gregg. 2009.

Come sweet child come dance with me
Just take hold of my hand.
Let us waltz to this old apple tree
Where the seeds of our story began.
You’re Innocent and blameless
But ignorance is not bliss.
For you see you’re also quite aimless
And there is so much to life that you miss.

Oh open your eyes
And know you’re truly alive.
Free to choose wrong or right
And to see the world’s not black and white.

Through this garden you wander
And marvel at all you see.
The answer to all that you ponder
hangs here on this old apple tree.
Hidden in the midst of this garden
Forbidden to touch this sweet wood.
For the fruit of this tree shall give unto thee
The knowledge of evil and good.

Chorus.

It’s true there will come some sorrow
And tomorrow has no guarantee.
But you’ll have a choice and gain your voice
And your Will, will finally be free.
If you’re meant to take life for granted
then why was this tree here planted?
If the truth is meant to be so clear,
Then why was a Serpent like me put here?

Chorus.
