A gentle breeze was blowing
The air was heavenly sweet--life was so complete
In a picture perfect garden
While the sun went down, you could hear the sound
Of a man and woman crying--saying what have we done
We made our choice and now we're dying
We've got to leave this place and hide from God's face but this is

Where we belong where you and I were meant to be (from now on) all along
Made by the Father to live in His love
It's the purpose and plan for the heart of man
This is where we belong

The warm winds of change were blowing
After years and years of hopeless tears
One man became the doorway
That would lead back to the place where life was knew
A place just like the garden where we walk and talk with God
The way creation started
Where each heart and soul can come and be whole

Where we belong where you and I were meant to be (from now on) all along
Made by the Father to live in His love
It's the purpose and plan for the heart of man
This is where we belong

Like the stars belong in the sky like a fish belongs in the water
Just like children you and I belong in the hands of the Father (this is)
