This world has its pleasure
It has its pain
There are moments to treasure
And tests of our faith
But each soul holds the memory
Of the glory of God's face
Echoes of how we began
Chorus:
There are traces of Eden
Here where we need them
This side, this side of paradise
There are places of freedom
And love to believe in
This side, this side of paradise
Can the flesh and the spirit be reconciled?
Can we make our peace
With the meek and the wild?
In the heart that is plces
In every mortal mother's child
This heart that is waiting for You
Repeat Chorus
And time only strengthen the covenant made
It's a promise unbroken to me
Repeat Chorus 2X
