<lyrics>[V1]
 A long time ago in a garden green
 everything was perfect like a dream
 Together with God walked a man and wife
 totally dependent on the Author of Life
 And all they had to do was just obey and paradise
 was theirs forever and a day
 Just obey

[V2]
 Now into the garden slithered the snake
 with deception in his mouth and souls to take
 And through his lies the first couple fell down
 and their eyes were partly opened
 but they lost their crown
 And the thunder clapped
 and the judgment fell
 as the fires of Heaven lit
 the flames of Hell
 Judgment fell

[V3]
 Centuries passed under death's firm hold
 fear our growing master, sin so bold
 Then the God of Heaven sent His only Son
 to break the serpent's grip, and make him run
 Now the second Adam's blood was a price well paid
 so the glory of the cross will never fade
 A price well paid

[V4]
 Now the devil still roars, but he's lost his teeth.
 So we must still resist him through belief
 So with the armor of God upon my frame
 I will stand my ground, will you do the same?
 Because we're on our way back to Paradise,
 so the enemy's defeated not once, but twice
 on our way back to Paradise
 Yes we're on our way back to Paradise
 so the enemy's defeated not once, but twice
 on our way back to Paradise

[V5]
 A long time ago in garden green
 everything was perfect like a dream</lyrics>
