Some took all our possessions,

Some even tried to steal our God.

(Yes they did. Yes they did)

But even through these transgressions,

(Theirs and ours)

One had His hand on us.

(Hear what I’m talking ‘bout)

 

Chorus

Golden Tree- I still believe!

Some (Sin) made us slaves,

But we shall still be free.

 

Did you think that the chains that bind you,

Are physical- only made of dirt and stone?

(Oh no, no, no!)

I saw a people once bound by their own slavery,

Intoxicated by she they had not known.

 

Vamp

So you can take this life;

Our fates are worlds apart.

(Oh yeah)

 

Chorus

 

“I saw, as it were, two trees there in His garden:

One held leaves as dark as night,

But deceived me,

And shown as the light.

I tasted of its nectar which,

In my mouth, seemed sweet,

But contained a knowledge that chained me.

Must I now forever see the fire spin,

Before the golden tree,

With the fruit that frees all men?”

 

I’ve traded all my possessions-

They’re temporal-

For a tree my God has sown.

(Yes I did and you will)

For, only if our name is mentioned,

Within The Book

And a Lamb that love has known.

(Hear what I’m talking ‘bout.)

 

Vamp
