Generations

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 lastAnd 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 seeRemind 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 knowShe 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 wealthAnd 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 ChristRemind 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, ohTo my great, great, great grand daughter
Live in peace
To my great, great, great grand son
Live in peaceTo my great, great, great grand daughter
Live in peace
To my great, great, great grand son
Live in peace, oh, live in peaceRemind 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 knowOh, 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 knowEve was the first but she wasn't the last
