The grass is greener! They didn\u2019t lie, <\/p>\n
A greener green <\/p>\n
I have never seen <\/p>\n
All laid out right in front of me <\/p>\n
My feet are yearning to be free <\/p>\n
So plush my toes can smell the earth <\/p>\n
Beneath every step I take <\/p>\n
I see the trees with leaves a plenty <\/p>\n
Hovering over me<\/p>\n
A canopy of large proportions <\/p>\n
With shade for all to rest below <\/p>\n
A greener green<\/p>\n
I have never known.<\/p>\n
The trees bare fruit<\/p>\n
All different kinds<\/p>\n
But there is one we\u2019ve been denied <\/p>\n
But I don\u2019t mind <\/p>\n
Because I yearn <\/p>\n
To please our father and keep His word.<\/p>\n
A greener green <\/p>\n
I have never seen <\/p>\n
The garden of our first creation <\/p>\n
A paradise I have never known <\/p>\n
One day we will return <\/p>\n
When we go back home.<\/p>\n
