WINTER CARTWRIGHT

Lyrics

Intro (soft R&B vibe)
Yeah…
Back in the garden it was perfect love
No games… no broken trust…
Then the fruit fell…
And everything changed.
Verse 1 (Story of the Fall)
Back in the garden when the world was young
Adam and Eve and the kingdom had come
Walking with God in the cool of the day
No shame in their hearts, no fear in their way
Then the whisper came sliding through the trees
Serpent talking smooth like the summer breeze
“Take a bite, let your mind be free”
But freedom ain’t freedom when it steals your peace
Now their eyes open wide to the knowledge of sin
Something new moving deep within
Desire and shame they never felt before
And the world ain’t been the same no more
Pre-Chorus (R&B)
When the eyes opened up
Something broke inside
Now the flesh wants control
And the spirit has to fight
Chorus (R&B Hook)
Ever since the fall, hearts been torn apart
Lust in the flesh, war in the heart
A cheater chasing shadows in the night
Looking for love but running from the light
But a man won’t change his ways
Till God touches his soul
Without the love of heaven
He’ll stay lost in the world
Verse 2 (The Man Lost in Lust)
He says he loves you but his eyes still roam
Another late night, another unknown phone
Chasing the thrill that fades by dawn
Leaving broken hearts when the feeling’s gone
He don’t even know he’s fighting inside
A war in the flesh that he tries to hide
From Eve to now it’s the same old fight
Man battling darkness instead of the light
A cheater stays drifting through empty beds
Till the voice of God wakes up his head
Cause lust is a hunger that never ends
Till heaven comes in and the healing begins
Chorus
Ever since the fall, hearts been torn apart
Lust in the flesh, war in the heart
A cheater chasing shadows in the night
Looking for love but running from the light
But a man won’t change his ways
Till God touches his soul
Without the love of heaven
He’ll stay lost in the world
Verse 3 (Woman Rising)
But baby girl listen, take time to heal
Don’t let broken love tell you what you feel
You carry a kingdom deep in your soul
More precious than silver, richer than gold
Learn to love the God that’s within your chest
That divine spark beating under your breath
When you see your worth and stand in your light
You won’t chase a man that can’t love you right
Cause when a woman knows who she really is
Peace walks in everywhere she lives
And the man that finds her, strong and true
Will recognize the queen inside of you
Bridge (Soft Gospel R&B)
The kingdom ain’t somewhere far away
It’s living in the heart where the spirit stays
And when you find that truth inside
The right love will come in God’s own time
Final Chorus (Big)
Ever since the fall, hearts been torn apart
Lust in the flesh, war in the heart
A cheater running circles in the night
Till he finds redemption in the light
But when God fills the soul
And the darkness fades away
Two hearts walking righteous
Can finally find their way
Outro
And the man who finds a wife finds life…
But the one chasing lust all night…
When the lights go down and the world grows cold…
He’ll face the silence of his lonely soul.
