Eden was perfection A beautiful dream There was no pretending Everything was as it seemed But she took the lust for life Delivered it to man Caving into the lies All the hiding began That's part, part of who I am Chorus: I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been But I won't look back It's just my past The story doesn't end For this child of Eden I've had Eve's eyes Of jealousy and shame And Adam's dispostion To worry and to blame But I've had days when I found more in me Forgiveness and mercy And I was truly free I know, I know that's who I am Don't let me forget where I was without You Don't let me forget the pain that You went through Don't let me forget that I became Yours When you spread out Your arms for me
