Lyrics

Our bodies are our timepieces
Our monuments to history
Of she said what, he did that, and I did this for you

Our bodies are our battlefields
Waging war for all to see
And the winner and the loser are the same

But, everybody's a garden
Sowing joy and pain
Everybody's a garden
Waiting for the rain

My body is immaculate
Free of hurt and disease
A shining lamp of all that needs to be

My body is a work in progress
I'm still working on what I eat
And who's waking up next to me

But, everybody's a garden
Sowing joy and pain
Everybody's a garden
Waiting for the rain

Maybe I can find a place inside my mind
Somewhere where it's safe to feel
Loosen up the vines that strangle me so tight
Give myself the space to heal
If it's all an illusion why does it feel so real

My body it belongs to me
Not running anymore
Even though nothing's really sure

My body is a miracle
And now I'm keeping score
Of all the wondrous things we've done before

Cuz, everybody's a garden
Sowing joy and pain
Everybody's a garden
Why can't we let, why can't we let it rain

Keep up with Liv
