[00:04.70]Before the first shadow touched our hearts, there was only light
[00:08.70]I'm not just talking about the sunlight that would filter through the canopy like liquid gold, warm on my skin
[00:15.90]I'm talkin' about life, the air itself tasted sweet, like honey in rain, everything hummed
[00:24.40]The Garden wasn't just a place we lived, it breathed with us
[00:29.10]There was no fear here, fear hadn't even been invented yet (Oh)
[00:34.30]A lion, this massive, beautiful creature, would lеan his heavy head into my touch
[00:43.20]Everything was connеcted, everything was exactly as it was meant to be (Ooh)
[00:49.60]And Eve, when I look at her, I finally understand what God meant when He said, "Very good" (Oh)
[00:58.90]And then, there's Him, it's the cool of the day, that's when He comes
[01:07.20]You always know when He's near
[01:09.70]The air, it changes, expected (Oh, oh, oh)
[01:14.50]Like the atmosphere itself is leaning in to listen
[01:18.30]We hear the sound first, not heavy footsteps, but a shifting of the atmosphere
[01:25.30]A weight of goodness moving through the trees
[01:28.40]And we run, we run toward the sound (Oh, oh, oh)
[01:32.10]His voice, it isn't just sound
[01:35.70]It's the foundation of everything
[01:37.80]When He speaks it's warm, resonant, it vibrates in my chest (Oh, why?)
[01:43.70]They talk about the colors of the water, why the monkeys chatter so much, what it means to be us
[01:49.50]There's no gap between us, no hesitation, no hiding, it's complete
[01:57.20]It's a feast, right? Everywhere you look, taste the explosion in your mouth
[02:03.00]We're completely free, except in the very center, the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Ooh)
[02:12.10]It's the only boundary line in the world without walls
[02:15.60]God is very clear, "Don't touch it, the day you eat it, you die" (Oh, oh, oh)
[02:20.60]Die? The word just hangs in the air, it means nothing to us (Ooh, oh, oh)
[02:26.20]We trust it, of course, we do
[02:29.40]But I find myself near it more often than I admit, it's stunning (Ooh, oh, oh)
[02:34.70]The fruit looks different, it doesn't just look delicious, it looks wise
[02:41.50]Eve, one day, I'm by the tree, and there's this voice, smooth like polished stone
[02:50.30]It belongs to the serpent, the most clever, the most beautiful of them all
[02:56.40]He doesn't shout, he doesn't threaten, he just asks a question
[03:02.40]"Did God really say you can't eat from any tree?"
[03:06.40]It's a simple question, but it shifts the entire world on its axis
[03:11.30]Suddenly, the God who gave us everything sounds restrictive (Ooh, oh)
[03:16.70]The serpent tells me, "I won't die" (Ooh, oh)
[03:19.70]Tells me "My eyes will be opened," that "I'll be like God" (Ooh, oh)
[03:24.10]That's the lure, it's not rebellion, it's ascension, it's the promise of more (Ooh, oh)
[03:31.60]He makes it sound like God is holding out on us
[03:35.00]The fruit is heavy in my hand, its skin is smooth, cool to the touch
[03:42.00]The tension is unbearable, I bite
[03:47.20]The taste isn't just sweet or bitter, it tastes like everything at once
[03:53.00]The world tilts, she brings it to me, her eyes are wild (And it's wild)
[03:59.80]My gut screams that, "This is wrong"
[04:03.90]My parter, my reflection, she is still standing (Oh my)
[04:07.70]I trust her more than I trust the voice of God, I eat (Oh my)
[04:13.00]And instantly, the light fractures (Oh my God)
[04:16.10]It's like a mirror, shattering inside my soul
[04:20.00]The air turns cold (Oh my God), I look at Eve, she looks at me
[04:24.90]And for the first time, I mean really, for the first time
[04:28.60]I see we are exposed, vulnerable, naked (And I said, "Oh my God")
[04:34.60]This is shame, we scrambled, panicked (I said, "Oh my God")
[04:38.50]We grabbed these big, rough, fig leaves, stichin' them together (I said, "Oh my God")
[04:42.60]They scratched my skin, they covered nothing (I said, "Oh my God")
[04:46.00]And then we hear it, His footsteps
[04:48.80]The sound that used to mean love, that used to mean safety (Oh my, Oh my God)
[04:52.30]Now means dread, absolute dread (Oh my God)
[04:55.60]We run, we hide in the thickest, darkest brush we could find (Oh my God), holding our breath
[05:00.90]And then His voice, it's not angry, not shouting, it's worse, it's heartbroken, "Where are you?"
[05:11.80]He knows exactly where we are physically
[05:15.20]He's asking where we've gone relationally
[05:18.70]Where we stand, trembling, covered in itchy leaves
[05:22.00]The question comes, gentle, but firm, "What have you done? Did you eat the fruit?" (Oh I)
[05:27.50]Is this where the fracture de...........
