Innocence & loss were found
Embodied in a single tree,
A tree planted on virgin ground
In the Garden of Eden to be
The tree of knowledge of good & evil,
the fruit of temptation, tragedy
The sting of hell crude & deceitful
Bringing disease to humanity
Who now trudge upward to heaven
Remembering the fall, their heads bow
Wanting only to be forgiven
To live their live free of dreads now
To enjoy the salvation brought
By the innocent blood He shed,
He who stretched his arms without thought
To give life by the blood He bled
