Downloaded to me on top of a mountain in Sedona, AZ. I didn't write it out until I came back home.

Garden of Eden
Tired of working, sick of the weeding
Done with deceit, and the greed, and competing
Over the inbreeding, bleeding meat-eating
And cheating, misleading lead men need a beating
Bible’s the only book that I been reading
Repeating my prayer to the Lord I’m pleading
Calling to God trying to set up a meeting
I want to go back to the Garden of Eden
If I was in Eden now that would be blessed
Wake up in the morning I wouldn’t get dressed
Walk around naked just me and my wife
Living in Eden is living the life
The Garden is great, least that’s what I hear
The weather is perfect, the water is clear
No violence no hatred no trouble no fear
Everyone lives for like nine hundred years
And no One counts besides the Most High
Maker of all from the earth to the sky
God is the greatest, standing alone
Made me a woman from out of my bone
There for me, always, when I need to talk
My Lord, my Shield, my Shepherd my Rock
My Parent, my Teacher, my Lover, my Friend
From in the beginning, until the end
Tired of working, sick of the weeding
Done with deceit, and the greed, and competing
Over the inbreeding, bleeding meat-eating
And cheating, misleading lead men need a beating
Bible’s the only book that I been reading
Repeating my prayer to the Lord I’m pleading
Calling to God trying to set up a meeting
I want to go back to the Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is always at peace
The Almighty One is the only police
And once you get in, if you want to stay
There’s only one law that you have to obey
“The tree of knowledge you shall not try”
That’s fine with me I don’t make my pie
With good and evil, that’s not my goal
Wouldn’t touch that fruit with a ten-foot pole
One tree’s off limits, do I really care?
There’s pineapple peach, plum, papaya, and pear
Orange, apple, apricot, cocoa, cranberry
Avocado, olive, almond, and cherry
Mango, grapefruit, pecan, cashew
Walnut, banana, and coconut too
Every kind of tree and the fruit for free
The Garden of Eden’s the place for me
Tired of working, sick of the weeding
Done with deceit, and the greed, and competing
Over the inbreeding, bleeding meat-eating
And cheating, misleading lead men need a beating
Bible’s the only book that I been reading
Repeating my prayer to the Lord I’m pleading
Calling to God trying to set up a meeting
I want to go back to the Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is just like the zoo
Without any cages so you’re in it too
God’s always making some creature that’s new
And all the creations are brought before you
God let’s you name them what ever you wish
That one’s a Flamingorillionfish
This is a Hippoplatypussycat, that
A Alligatorangutangeroorat”
On top of all that the animals talk
You’d make new friends on every walk
Speak to a skunk, say hi to a fly
Share words with birds, way up in the sky
Call out a cow, yak with a yak
Talk to a turtle, he’ll talk right back
The snake might say you should eat from the tree
Of knowledge but then you would end up like me
Tired of working, sick of the weeding
Done with deceit, and the greed, and competing
Over the inbreeding, bleeding meat-eating
And cheating, misleading lead men need a beating
Bible’s the only book that I been reading
Repeating my prayer to the Lord I’m pleading
Calling to God trying to set up a meeting
I want to go back to the Garden of Eden
