When my heart is aching (it's the right time, it's the right time)
And my soul is reaching (it's the right time, it's the right--)

Time to dive deep, to understand
That there is an Adam in every man
This was my garden and I made it die
It's asking me why

But I see tears in all things
Everything is broken
I hear them crying
Everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn't have to be spoken
But now everything's broken

This is my confession (it's about time, it's about time)
Of the world's condition (it's about time, it's about--)

Time that you see
My glory and shame
This world fell through me
But out of the flames
Will rise a new earth
From death will come birth
A cure to the curse

But I see tears in all things
Everything is broken
I hear them crying
Everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn't have to be spoken
But now everything's broken

I live in frustration (and it is mine, and it is mine)
Watch my garden dying (and it is mine, and it is--)

I gave it death
And I brought it hell
And there grew a cross to mark where I fell
A day will come when
Adam again
Will pay for my sins

But I see tears in all things
Everything is broken
I hear them crying
Everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn't have to be spoken
But now everything's broken
