lyrics

We are gardens, where the Lord once dwelled in
Born from the earth our breath was the wind
So it goes we became like barren empty lands
Trading our living earth for the dust in the sand

There is a farmer who walks the land
The ground beneath meets the seed in his hand
We are clay we are vessels for beauty
But do our roots reach deep enough for us to stand

If you believe that we were meant for more
then look above and realize
We could be trees that are planted by the river
flowing from the source of life

Now we are the children, we are the heirs to
the city that's shining like a star on a hill
Though we are shadows of our Father's land
We've got to change the soil for the seeds in our hands

If you could see all the love in our Father's eyes
Then you will know that to live you must die
Here on this earth we are one and the same
Feeling each other's joy, the sunshine and the rain

We are gardens
We are gardens full of life
We are gardens
We are going to survive
