Tracy Grammer - Gentle Arms of Eden Lyrics

On a sleepy endless ocean when the world lay in a dream

There was rhythm in the splash and roll, but not a voice to sing

So the moon shone on the breakers and the morning warmed the waves

Till a single cell did jump and hum for joy as though to say


This is my home, this is my only home

This is the only sacred ground that I have ever known

And should I stray in th dark night alone

Rock me goddess in the gentle arms of eden


Then the day shone bright and rounder til the one turned into two

And the two into ten thousand things, and old things into new

And on some virgin beach head one lonesome critter crawled

And he looked about and shouted out in his most astonished drawl


This is my home ...


Then all the sky was buzzin and the ground was carpet green

And the wary children of the wood went dancin in between

And the people sang rejoicing when the field was glad with grain

This song of celebration from their cities on the plain


This is my home ...


Now there's smoke across the harbor, and there's factories on the shore

And the world is ill with greed and will and enterprise of war

But I will lay my burden in the cradle of your grace

And the shining beaches of your love and the sea of your embrace


This is my home ...
