00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:07.800
Before the first shadow touched our
hearts, there was only light
00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:15.500
I'm not just talking about the sunlight
that would filter through the canopy
like liquid gold, warm on my skin
00:00:15.900 --> 00:00:23.900
I'm talkin' about life, the air
itself tasted sweet, like honey
in rain, everything hummed
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:28.200
The Garden wasn't just a place
we lived, it breathed with us
00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:33.800
There was no fear here, fear hadn't
even been invented yet (Oh)
00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:42.200
A lion, this massive, beautiful
creature, would lеan his
heavy head into my touch
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:49.300
Everything was connеcted, everything
was exactly as it
was meant to be (Ooh)
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:58.800
And Eve, when I look at her, I finally
understand what God meant
when He said, "Very good" (Oh)
00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:06.400
And then, there's Him, it's the cool
of the day, that's when He comes
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.600
You always know when He's near
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:14.400
The air, it changes, expected
(Oh, oh, oh)
00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:18.200
Like the atmosphere itself
is leaning in to listen
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:25.200
We hear the sound first, not
heavy footsteps, but a shifting
of the atmosphere
00:01:25.300 --> 00:01:28.300
A weight of goodness moving
through the trees
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.000
And we run, we run toward
the sound (Oh, oh, oh)
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:35.600
His voice, it isn't just sound
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.700
It's the foundation of everything
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:43.600
When He speaks it's warm, resonant,
it vibrates in my chest (Oh, why?)
00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:49.400
They talk about the colors of the
water, why the monkeys chatter
so much, what it means to be us
00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:56.300
There's no gap between us, no hesitation,
no hiding, it's complete
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:02.800
It's a feast, right? Everywhere
you look, taste the
explosion in your mouth
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:12.000
We're completely free, except in
the very center, the tree of knowledge
of good and evil (Ooh)
00:02:12.100 --> 00:02:15.500
It's the only boundary line
in the world without walls
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:20.500
God is very clear, "Don't touch
it, the day you eat it,
you die" (Oh, oh, oh)
00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:26.100
Die? The word just hangs in
the air, it means nothing
to us (Ooh, oh, oh)
00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:29.300
We trust it, of course, we do
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:34.600
But I find myself near it more
often than I admit, it's
stunning (Ooh, oh, oh)
00:02:34.700 --> 00:02:41.400
The fruit looks different, it doesn't
just look delicious, it looks wise
00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:50.200
Eve, one day, I'm by the tree,
and there's this voice,
smooth like polished stone
00:02:50.300 --> 00:02:56.300
It belongs to the serpent,
the most clever, the most
beautiful of them all
00:02:56.400 --> 00:03:01.100
He doesn't shout, he doesn't threaten,
he just asks a question
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.900
"Did God really say you can't
eat from any tree?"
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.200
It's a simple question, but it shifts
the entire world on its axis
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:16.600
Suddenly, the God who gave us everything
sounds restrictive (Ooh, oh)
00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:19.600
The serpent tells me, "I
won't die" (Ooh, oh)
00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:24.000
Tells me "My eyes will be opened,"
that "I'll be like God" (Ooh, oh)
00:03:24.100 --> 00:03:31.500
That's the lure, it's not rebellion,
it's ascension, it's the
promise of more (Ooh, oh)
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:34.900
He makes it sound like God
is holding out on us
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:41.400
The fruit is heavy in my hand, its
skin is smooth, cool to the touch
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:47.100
The tension is unbearable, I bite
00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.900
The taste isn't just sweet or bitter,
it tastes like everything at once
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:59.700
The world tilts, she brings it to me,
her eyes are wild (And it's wild)
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.500
My gut screams that, "This is wrong"
00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:07.600
My parter, my reflection, she
is still standing (Oh my)
00:04:07.700 --> 00:04:12.900
I trust her more than I trust the
voice of God, I eat (Oh my)
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.000
And instantly, the light
fractures (Oh my God)
00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:19.900
It's like a mirror, shattering
inside my soul
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.800
The air turns cold (Oh my God),
I look at Eve, she looks at me
00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:28.500
And for the first time, I mean
really, for the first time
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:34.500
I see we are exposed, vulnerable,
naked (And I said, "Oh my God")
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.400
This is shame, we scrambled, panicked
(I said, "Oh my God")
00:04:38.500 --> 00:04:42.500
We grabbed these big, rough, fig
leaves, stichin' them together
(I said, "Oh my God")
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.900
They scratched my skin, they covered
nothing (I said, "Oh my God")
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.700
And then we hear it, His footsteps
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.200
The sound that used to mean
love, that used to mean safety
(Oh my, Oh my God)
00:04:52.300 --> 00:04:55.500
Now means dread, absolute
dread (Oh my God)
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:00.800
We run, we hide in the thickest,
darkest brush we could find (Oh
my God), holding our breath
00:05:00.900 --> 00:05:11.700
And then His voice, it's not angry,
not shouting, it's worse, it's
heartbroken, "Where are you?"
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.100
He knows exactly where
we are physically
00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:18.600
He's asking where we've
gone relationally
00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:21.900
Where we stand, trembling,
covered in itchy leaves
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:27.400
The question comes, gentle, but
firm, "What have you done? Did
you eat the fruit?" (Oh I)
00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:31.200
Is this where the fracture deepens?
The break spreads? (Ooh)
00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:3...........
