Episode 2 - In the Garden (for Drexel)

Even a global crisis such as the Coronavirus can have a silver lining. For Drexel, a chaplain on the front lines at UAB hospital in Alabama, the past year brought an opportunity to slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on what's really important. In the Garden is written and performed by Wells Hanley. The song was inspired by Drexel's video, "A Coronavirus Gift". Lyrics appear below.

In the Garden Music and Lyrics by Wells Hanley ©2020 As I find myself here in the garden I can feel the Sun on my skin and of every place I have ever gone before here is where I've always been   As I rest here into the silence and the wind blows the trees so easy I feel myself letting go and getting free   Free from the lock-step of my bustling and the thought that life was somehow somewhere out there As I still myself and listen and breathe in the air   There's a rule for being in the garden it's a simple one that no one can enforce: It's up to you.   Free from the lock-step of my bustling and the thought that life was somehow somewhere out there As I still myself and listen and breathe in the air   There's a rule for being in the garden it's a simple one that no one can enforce: It's up to you.
