Return to Eden

[Verse 1] In the Garden of Eden, where dreams were spun, A tapestry of thoughts, a world begun. Eve saw the apple, brought it into her mind, Reality grasped, in perception entwined. [Chorus A] Oh, in Eden's embrace, where objects were near, Directly we grasped them, in minds so clear. When Eve took a bite, the world did change, From a tapestry of thoughts to a material range. [Verse 2] The veil of perception fell into place that day, The coherent world, it faded away. No longer could we bring objects to our core, They stayed at a distance, forevermore. [Chorus A] Oh, in Eden's embrace, where objects were near, Directly we grasped them, in minds so clear. When Eve took a bite, the world did change, From a tapestry of thoughts to a material range. [Bridge] Now we see the world through a different lens, Objects at a distance, where perception ends. The Garden of Eden, a memory so sweet, A world of consciousness, now incomplete. [Verse 3] But what if the veil of perception is a myth, A story we tell, of materialist pith? Naive Idealism, *The View from Everywhere*, raises the question that's now all too rare. [Verse 4] The world is woven with conscious threads, A tapestry of senses, where perception spreads. We grasp concrete objects, directly and true, A world in our minds, vivid to view. [Chorus B] Oh, in Eden's embrace, objects are near, Directly we grasp them, in minds so clear. When Eve took a bite, we thought the world changed, Assumed all we had left was material range. [Verse 4] The world is woven with conscious threads, A tapestry of senses, where perception spreads. We grasp concrete objects, directly and true, A world in our minds, vivid to view. [Outro] Returning to Eden, where sight is clear, A world of perception, so vivid and near. We grasp the essence, directly in mind, Reality’s threads, our senses entwined.
