The Garden

Once upon a time there was a garden
There in the midst there were two trees
Once upon a time there was a garden
Where God and man lived in peace

Once upon a time there in that garden
A slippery little snake came to deceive
Once upon a time there in that garden
Forbidden knowledge came to Eve

Oh the downfall of a competent woman
She's running ragged from doing it all
There is power in a competent woman
But her pride comes before her fall

Ever since the time there in that garden
Woman and man have lived with strife
Ever since the time there in that garden
We've been searching for the tree of life

Oh the downfall of a competent woman
She's running ragged from doing it all
There is power in a competent woman
But her pride comes before her fall

Where are you hiding
Are you sitting in a belly of shame
Are you denying the power in His great name
Girl quit your striving
Come and walk in the garden again
And find your tree of life

Oh the downfall of a competent woman
She's running ragged from doing it all
There is power in a competent woman
But her pride comes before her fall
