Tree To Tree

(album: The Big Picture - 2009)

No
Eve no!
Adam wait!
Don't do it (Oh)
I wish they could hear us
Listen
Don't do it
I know it looks good, but don't eat of the tree
Don't do it
Cause you see if you do, we'll all suffer
Don't do it
Can you hear us?
Don't let sin in the world
Don't do it
Can you hear us?
Wait, please! No
Don't do it

I know you can't see us, but
We're watching you from afar
An audience in the distance
Like some flies on the wall
Standing here in amazement
And in awe since we saw
God forming you from the dust
Shaping you with His palms
Giving you the permission
To eat from trees in the garden
'Cept for one, if you disobey
Then you're destined to fall
He guaranteed you would die
If you stray from this law
Then he gave you a bride and said
You should not be alone

So please don't eat from the tree
No, no, no
Please don't eat from the tree
No, no, no

I know you can't see us but
We're watching you from afar
And we're rejoicing and slapping each other
High five because
You and your bride are so happy
Clearly you've got it all
The ocean's your swimming pool
Your lighting comes from the stars
Before the fear was so happy
How far this feeling would go
But most of all you were paddling around an
Island with God
The earth is filled with His glory (don't do it)
You serve and worship in awe
Everything is so perfect here in the world without flaws
Why would you eat from that tree?
Remember God said you would fall
Remember he said you would die
And that would affect us all
Please do not follow your eye
The devil's gestures are false
The moment you take a bite
All of this will be lost

So please don't eat from that tree
No, no, no, no, no, no
Please don't eat from the tree
No, no, no, no, no, no

Wish you could see all the crack
The ecstasy and the cracks
The dustless streets in neglect
The death that breathes down our necks
The aches and pains in our backs
The racist, rape and incest
The KKK lynching blacks
Six million Jews in the camp
The endless wars in Iraq
The monkeys all on our back
Financially we're all strap
Relationships out of wack
Wish you could see all this mess
Wish you could see this car wreck
Wish you could hear all the screams
And hail the people not coming back
Every temptation's a tree
And since you ate from the tree
Sin and death is in you
Sin and death is in me
But hold up off in the distance
I see a whole other tree
And the man that is on it's
Dying for you and for me

Why did you eat from the tree?
Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't do it (uh uh)
Don't do it (uh uh)
