about

Khalil Ismail sings about the prospect of the downtrodden being redeemed in a better life.

lyrics

gardens
beneath
which
rivers flow
and all i know is id love
to
Go

so I
imagine
passed the test
he is pleased
we did our best
and im so
grateful

so the scary day has ended
trial finished sentence in favor of the defendant
relieved
like never before
tallied the reports
final test score passed
grateful to my lord
i was forgiven
the ordeal tremendous
to see my life rewound before my eyes
before i died i submitted
so happy that i did it
i smiled and i cried as my body took the witness
stand
testified for and against me
no way words could describe the fear i was feelin
what was i thinking
man i was such a fool
if not for guidance from God , would have been surely doomed
but now my life’s consumed with positivity
fruits and vineyards
gardens of serenity
the possibilities
are now limitless
rewarded for keeping hope
and showing with my deeds




gardens
beneath
which
rivers flow
and all i know is id love
toGo

so I
imagine
passed the test
he is pleased
we did our best
and im so
grateful

will the little baby girl who was buried alive
rise from the dirt
to the palaces of light in the gardens
in the gardens in the gardens in the gardens
Will the victim of rape no
longer be ashamed
May have got her body but her soul he couldn’t claim was for the gardens
For the gardens for the gardens for the gardens
Will the lower class citizens murdered who were innocent tyrannized victimized
Find their redemption in the gardens, in the gardens, in the gardens, in the gardens
Will the Martyrs of war, pious rich or poor, givers, lovers , trusters of their lord
All have their reward
All have their reward

gardens
beneath
which
rivers flow
and all i know is id love
toGo

so I
imagine
passed the test
he is pleased
we did our best
and im so
grateful



Oh if I made it to the gardens
To the gardens
To the gardens to the gardens
To the gardens to the gardens
To the gardens


Oh if I made it to the gardens
To the gardens
To the gardens to the gardens
To the gardens to the gardens
To the gardens
