The pace is fast and the stakes are high

The game of life, yes we play this all the time

Don't take for granted all we had

Maybe we have come too far

Maybe a time for less, not more

I dare you to dance in the rain

And watch the sun rise today



Higher and higher in a rainbow sky

All the stars at night

Everybody sing

Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything

Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word

Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden



We start the race so full of hope

And then we find we've lost all sense of soul

Are we past the point of no return

We live a life of want, not need

Let's live a life of pride, not greed

I dare you to dance in te rain

And watch the sun rise today



Higher and higher in a rainbow sky

All the stars at night

Everybody sing

Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything

Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word

Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden



In the Garden of Eden



Higher and higher in a rainbow sky

All the stars at night

Everybody sing

Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything



Higher and higher in a rainbow sky

All the stars at night

Everybody sing

Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything

Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word

Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden



Take me higher

Bring me nearer

Take me higher

Bring me nearer and nearer



Take me higher

Bring me nearer

Take me higher

Bring me nearer

To the Garden

The Garden of Eden
