Joy Williams - Child of Eden Lyrics

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

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 disposition 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

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

Oh, 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

I'm a child of Eden I'm a child, 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'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden

For this child of Eden
I'm a child of Eden
Child of Eden
Story doesn't end oh all right
Child of Eden
