Tree of Life

Hook: It's 2024, feels like in the beginning in the Garden of Eden, YouTube's the tree of knowledge, tempting every season. Telling your kids, "Stay away, don’t peek or play," But the serpent’s in the classroom, leading them astray.

Verse 1: You hand 'em an iPad, say "Here’s what you can do, All these apps are safe, but one will undo The innocence in you, it’s a dangerous ride, Stay away from that tree, don’t let your spirit die." But the kids in school whisper, “It’s all just a game, I’m on YouTube, nothing’s changed, still the same.” Until they hear things too grown to comprehend, And you’re stuck wondering where it all began.

Pre-Chorus: Who told you that? How’d you learn so fast? Trying to explain, but their childhood won’t last. Curiosity sparked, it’s hard to rewind, In a world where pop-ups steal their mind.

Chorus: In the garden, we can’t hide the truth, The tree of life is what they need for proof. For evil and good, it’s all perception’s game, But life will teach ‘em the laws that remain. Reciprocity, it’s the lesson we seek, In a world that’s so strong, yet they’re still so weak.

Verse 2: You say, "Put it down," but they cry out in pain, “All my friends have one, why can’t I be the same?” You realize it’s bigger than just control, It’s about guiding hearts, protecting souls. The tree of knowledge has roots so deep, Can’t shield ‘em forever from what the world keeps. But wisdom and grace, they’ll need to survive, Only the tree of life can keep their souls alive.

Pre-Chorus: Who told you that? Who opened your eyes? Trying to make sense of the world and its lies. They’re curious now, so you stand by their side, Teach ‘em that life’s lessons never hide.

Chorus: In the garden, we can’t hide the truth, The tree of life is what they need for proof. For evil and good, it’s all perception’s game, But life will teach ‘em the laws that remain. Reciprocity, it’s the lesson we seek, In a world that’s so strong, yet they’re still so weak.

Bridge: Good and evil, they both intertwine, What one sees as dark, another sees as divine. But life gives us balance, it shows us the way, The law of reciprocity, day after day.

Hook (Reprise): It's 2024, feels like in the beginning in the Garden of Eden, YouTube's the tree of knowledge, tempting every season. But only the tree of life can open their eyes, To see through the world and filter the lies.

Outro: Guide them to the truth, where their souls can thrive, Only the tree of life will help them survive
