SECRET GARDEN

When you were a child,
did you understand
the rest of the world
would never know the things you knew?
No, not like you did –
never, never
And wasn’t it imagination
that brought you to a place where you
could be alone?
A secret garden of your own?

And – God – in your wildest dreams,
what parts did you play?
Did you play all the parts in your secret garden?
And if it was make believe, you played anyway
It didn’t matter then
‘cause that’s what secret gardens were for

When you were a child,
would you have believed
the things that you thought were so misleading
were full of meaning
and sparked the lives you’d never understand
no – never, never
And wasn’t it determination
that brought you to a place where you
could be alone
Is that how you make it on your own?

And – God – in your wildest dreams,
what parts did you play?
Did you play all the parts in your secret garden?
And if it was make believe, you played anyway
It didn’t matter then
‘cause that’s what secret gardens were for

Oh, you can age, but you can never grow away
And you can tell me that you always knew it
But can you look back and say that you were proud to be
the keeper of your garden?

And – God – in your wildest dreams,
what parts do you play?
Do you play all the parts in your secret garden?
And if it’s just make believe, it’s better that way
It doesn’t matter now
‘cause that’s what secret gardens are for

Yes, I think that’s what all our secret, secret gardens
are for
