Halcyon Wander - Paradise

Verse 1:
Far from the garden of Eden we made our home
We nurtured the ground in hope that our love would grow
Our trees grew tall and strong to shelter the growth so young
Defending the path before us that leads through the safe place, we call our home

Chorus:
How could this happen to me?
How could my life's meaning concede to rot?
Defying any attention given like my love's not enough
From beneath the debris
I wonder, was this fated for me?
Was it something I did that brought my dreams down on top of my head?

Verse 2:
Through heavy rains and winds our plot held strong
Any repairs we made reinforced the roof and the walls
Each night the sun relinquished its fame for the stars to embrace
But the pride in our works outshined their brightest blaze
In paradise lives our tree house, a single room in the sky
Now weathered like the limbs beneath It stands proud holding our memories

Bridge:
Maybe I looked away for too long
Maybe I lost sight of hope
How could I know that the fibers I'd grow would come to form this very rope?
