Matthew West's song 'Good (Adam & Eve)' reflects on the fall of humanity from the perspective of Adam and Eve, expressing regret over their disobedience and longing for the innocence of Eden. The lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow and a desire to undo the past, while also marveling at God's enduring love and grace despite human brokenness. The song acknowledges the pain of separation from God but affirms that He still sees us as good through His redemptive love. It's a heartfelt meditation on sin, repentance, and the hope of restoration.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
If I could, I'd rewrite history
I'd choose differently; if I could, I would
I'd leave out the part where I broke Your heart
In the garden's shade, fix the mess I made
If I could, I would
If I could, close my eyes and then
Dance around again; if I could, I would
Be who You adored, why did I need more?
When beauty was not trained to hide behind my shame
If I could, I would.
Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good
If I could hold one memory
It would surely be how You walked with us
I'd go back in time, untell my first lie
And let love's injury heal in spite of me
Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good
Say it's good
It is good. It is good.
You still love us more than we believed You could
Could there be something more?
Will it ever be the way it was before?
Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good
