COME BEBE IN THE GARDEG
COME BEBE IN THE GARDEN

RUN AWAY
FROM WHAT MAKES

TAKE MY HAND HOLD ON
WE WILL FIND
THE WAY TO ZION
THE ROAD TO ZION
TAKE MY HAND HOLD ON
SO THAT ONE DAY
WE WILL MEET AGAIN
AT THE GATES OF ZION
I KNOW I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN
IN THE GARDEN
COME BEBE IN THE GARDEG
COME BEBE IN THE GARDEN
I KNOW I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN
RUN AWAY
FROM WHAT MAKES

COME BEBE IN THE GARDEN
I KNOW I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN
In Lila Frascara's song "In the Garden," the lyrics speak to the idea of separation and the longing for connection. The opening lines "And those who were separated at all times, thousands of brothers who in wicked hands consigned to slavery" alludes to the separation and enslavement of a group of people. However, the songwriter suggests that despite their isolation and struggles, they will ultimately be protected and given a garden of their own. This emphasis on a place of protection, specifically a garden, speaks to the idea of a utopian space where people can thrive without fear, judgment or oppression.
The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics, "Theirs will be the garden, and the sweet fruit in the garden, come bebe in the garden, we'll see the truth." Here, there is a sense of hope and happiness that stems from the idea of a garden; a place that is typically seen as a source of growth and abundance. The invitation to come to the garden serves as a call to action, inspiring the listener to find their own garden, truth, and freedom in their lives.
The song moves towards a resolution in the final verse, "Seeds I will leave so that one day we will meet again at the gates of Zion, I know I'll see you again in the garden." Here, the songwriter emphasizes the idea of leaving something for future generations to continue the cycle of growth, creation, and protection. The song symbolizes the hope that humanity collectively desires: to find a safe space where we can unite irrespective of the difference in our origins, and to be able to find a future where we can live without fear.
