When my heart is aching
It’s the right time, it’s the right time
And my soul is reaching
It’s the right time, it’s the right
Time to dive deep to understand
That there is an Adam in every man
This was my garden and I made it die
It’s asking me why
Chorus
But I see tears in all things, everything is broken
I hear them crying, everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn’t have to be spoken
But now everything’s broken
This is my confession
It’s about time it’s about time
Of the world’s condition
It’s about time, it’s about
Time that you see my glory and shame
This world fell through me
But out of flames will rise a new earth
From death will come birth
A cure to the curse
Chorus
I live in frustration
And it is mine and it is mine
Watch my garden dying
And it is mine and it is
I gave it death and I brought it hell
And there grew a cross to mark where I fell
A day will come when Adam again will pay for my sins
Chorus

Behind the Song:'This song is a little complicated, but track with me. Each of us is originally descended from Adam. In Eden Adam's job was to tend the garden. Before the fall the garden worked properly, where he planted it grew. But Adam fell and creation fell with him, now where he planted it grew thorns and only ate by the sweat of his brow, his garden was broken. As his children we all know the frustrations of our broken gardens. Things just don't work the way you want them to, and its all our fault. In the first verse it's me singing about the Adam in me and for the rest of the song it's Adam singing. I know it's a little artistic, but I think that's OK.' - Matt Morginsky (
