Sara Groves - Generations lyrics

rate me

I can taste the fruit of Eve

I'm aware of sickness, death and disease

The results of our choices are vast

Eve was the first but she wasn't the last

And if I were honest with myself

Had I been standing at that tree

My mouth and my hands would be covered with fruit

Things I shouldn't know and things I shouldn't see

Remind me of this with every decision

Generations will reap what I sow

I can pass on a curse or a blessing

To those I will never know

She taught me to fear the serpent

I'm learning to fear myself

And all of the things I am capable of

In my search for wisdom, acceptance and wealth

And to say that the devil made me do it

Is a cop out and a lie

The devil can't make me do anything

When I'm calling on Jesus Christ

Remind me of this with every decision

Generations will reap what I sow

I can pass on a curse or a blessing

To those I will never know

To my great, great, great grand daughter

Live in peace

To my great, great, great grand son

Live in peace

To my great, great, great grand daughter

Live in peace

To my great, great, great grand son

Live in peace, oh, live in peace

Remind me of this with every decision

Generations will reap what I sow

I can pass on a curse or a blessing

To those I will never know

Oh, remind me

Generations will reap what I sow

I can pass on a curse or a blessing

To those I will never know

Oh, I may never know
