Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You were barefoot in the backyard Hands deep in the dark brown earth Said “You can’t rush a seed Babe It’s gonna take all it’s worth” I was out here breaking branches Tearing every tender start You just wrapped my splinters In the quiet of your heart [Chorus] You turned this desert to a garden Grew a forest from my shame Every broken limb you watered Called me gentle Called me brave Now our love climbs like a vine Love Round the fences of my past You’re the rain over my ruin You’re my garden of our second chance (oh yeah) [Verse 2] We had storms that split the cedar Cold words cut the sky in two I was sure the roots were dying But the roots ran back to you We pulled weeds named “old mistakes” Laid them out there by the road Now the branches hold forgiveness Where the bitter used to grow [Chorus] You turned this desert to a garden Grew a forest from my shame Every broken limb you watered Called me gentle Called me brave Now our love climbs like a vine Love Round the fences of my past You’re the rain over my ruin You’re my garden of our second chance [Bridge] I was falling Falling Falling Like a red leaf from the flame You just opened up your hands and said “I still know your name” (hey) Now the wind is singing softer Through the tall and tender green Every promise that we nurture Feels like sunlight on the leaves [Chorus] You turned this desert to a garden Grew a forest from my shame Every broken limb you watered Called me gentle Called me brave Now our love climbs like a vine Love Round the fences of my past You’re the rain over my ruin You’re my garden of our second chance
