[Verse 1] She walks the border of morning Dust on her ankles Light in her hair Naming the creatures Learning the language Still asking no questions Still breathing prepared I waited high in the branches Watching her fingers brush every leaf Seeing her hunger Quiet Unanswered Knowing the law And the cost of belief [Chorus] It’s sweet to the taste And sharp in the knowing You can stay safe in your garden Or step into the flowing You were not made for sleep Or a life that never changes Take it And see How small this cage is [Verse 2] He says you’re precious His daughter He keeps you walking the circle each day He hides the words He spoke in the council The worlds He will people The blood on the way I heard Him say it I stood there burning “Prove them And sift them And some will fall” You think this orchard is all that He offers? Child This is the waiting room That is all [Chorus] It’s sweet to the taste And sharp in the knowing You can stay safe in your garden Or step into the flowing You were not made for sleep Or a love that never ages Take it And see How small this cage is [Bridge] You fear the sorrow But you ache for story You fear the leaving But you reach for glory You fear the dark But you crave the fire Tell me Eve Which voice is desire? [Chorus] It’s sweet to the taste And sharp in the knowing You can stay safe in your garden Or step into the flowing You were not made for sleep Or a name that never changes Take it And be More than what He pages
