great lake swimmers
to leave it behind
When we were greened and young as shoots The world took off beneath our boots Oh we were picked when we were young Gentle words and modesty When we turned towards the tide Choirs screamed in their delight Oh I am ripe and ready now My heart is heavy, it's going to fall  Out of my body  Unto love, unto love Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall  Out of my body  Would have died without  Your gardens of eternal life That you kept so well, kept so well Could have lived without The fall into the tragedy But I'm not Adam And you're not eve  They were brave enough to leave  When they were told leave it behind  Leave it behind It behind They were brave enough to leave When they were told Leave it behind
