"Chasing Eden" Original Song by Tay Zonday

Uploaded by: TayZonday
Video Description:
THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ! I'm amazed by how it seems like 90% of the audience missed the song's topic. I only use Christian metaphors because I (wrongly) assumed they were common knowledge; not to advance a religious position.
"Chasing Eden" is a metaphor for the failed pursuit of salvation in the most commonly accepted historical location for a "Garden of Eden," the Fertile Crescent tied to the Tigris and Euphretes rivers in IRAQ. Download the FREE MP3!* http://www.tayzonday.net/Tay_Zonday_Chasing_Eden.mp3 PC Users

LYRICS: They say Eden was a great place But that serpent had a sweet face When people gained the knowledge Eden died But they saw Eden rising In that fertile crescent lining And off we marched to make the story right [Chorus] 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates Headlines fly and we're still waiti
ng For the good news that salvation rises here 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates I just wonder, is there really That old Eden dreamed before my knowlege came ***** Seeing that Eden would I lose it? Would my actions take me to it? Would I chase it past the sunset through the night? Would it pull on
how I feel 'til that Eden seemed so real? Would I fill my home with hope that it came true? Would the angels rising there need a flag to pay the fare to reach the heaven for the ones I love? Would the money and the power take the feeling of the hour, sing drive-by prayers pretending sweet supp
ort? [Chorus] 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates Anthems part the lips of babies Singing sins the parents can't conceive 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates Hardware acts as judge and jury Making law the factory never sees 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates Symbols fill the crooks and cranies That mark
turf from Chicago to Coeur d'Alene 'Round the Tigris and Euphrates We all love our heroes' faces But who believes that Eden they'll retrieve? will that ancient garden sprout? Or is starlight somewhere else? I saw it 'round those stripes the other day. Chasing Eden But it ran away PAINTING/
