Alive and well in the land of the living A secret garden in my head Oh how exquisite are Eden’s spring waters As I’m stuck here slaving in the valley of the dead Deliver me Lord from the cheats and liars Don’t let them get to my head With jeers and catcalls their mocking gets louder Each day is worse than the last Don’t throw me to the dogs Don’t leave me out here like this Barking their hate and nipping my heels A race of gluttons A generation of swindlers All bent to get their fill Fill me, Yahuah With your glory and splendor Water my soil and strengthen my roots A bountiful tree in the Garden of Eden Amid the stacks of dead logs in the ashes and soot
