Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There?s a place, a garden for the young

To laugh and dance in safety among

The shimmering light in the garden of peace


But steal a bite and paradise is lost

With darkened hearts we didn?t count the cost

Forgot all we left behind


Life picks up speed before you know

We?re holding on for dear life, Oh Lord

We?re too proud to turn back now


One day it all falls down

It breaks our heart and it breaks our crown

Brings us down where we see


It?s gonna be alright

Turn around and let back in the light

And joy will come

Like a bird in the morning sun

And all will be made well

Once again


There?s a way that seems right to a man

Until he?s in over head and he don?t understand

How the plans he made only led him astray


But every good gift comes down from above

From the Lord of light like a labor of love

Upon the child who waits for Him


Sometimes you?ll find what you?re waiting for

Was there all along just waiting for you

To turn around and reconcile


And it may be broken down

All the bridges burned like an old ghost town

But this my son can be made new


It?s gonna be alright

Shake it out and let back in the light

And joy will come

Like a bird in the morning sun

And all will be made well

And all will be made well 

And all will be made well

Once again
