Natural Man

I can see you clearly
I know what you are
You are but a rebel,
          and must lay down your arms
We're not simply creatures,
          needing to improve
Surrender yourself to the light,
          that he is offering you...

      From the garden
      I know what you are
      From the garden

I can see you clearly
You're fallen from the stars
Some passions are temptations,
          and you give in to all
We can't simply falter,
          when we begin to urge
You cannot deny the light,
          if you are to return...

      To the garden
      He knows what you are
      From the garden

What you give is what you get
And every time that you forget,
          you'll deny it
The world has made us all confused
With all the truths that it's abused
Don't deny it

      From the garden
      You know what you are
      From the garden
      Don't deny it!
