from The "Secret Garden" |
|
A bit of earth |
|
She wants a little bit of earth |
|
She'll plant some seeds |
|
The seeds will grow |
|
The flowers bloom |
|
But is their bounty |
|
What she needs |
|
How can she chance |
|
To love a little bit of earth |
|
Does she not know |
|
The earth is old |
|
And doesn't care if |
|
One small girl wants things to grow |
|
She needs a friend |
|
She needs a father |
|
Brother, sister |
|
Mother's arms |
|
She needs to laugh |
|
She needs to dance |
|
And learn to work |
|
Her girlish charms |
|
She needs a home |
|
The only thing she really needs |
|
I cannot give |
|
Instead she asks |
|
A bit of earth |
|
To make it live |
|
She should have a pony |
|
Gallop 'cross the moor |
|
She should have a doll's house |
|
With a hundred rooms per floor |
|
Why can't she ask for a treasure |
|
Something that money can buy |
|
That won't die |
|
When I'd give her the world |
|
She asks instead |
|
For some earth |
|
A bit of earth |
|
She wants a little bit of earth |
|
She'll plant some seeds |
|
The seeds will grow |
|
The flowers bloom |
|
Their beauty just the thing she needs |
|
She'll grow to love the tender roses |
|
Lilies fair, the iris tall |
|
And then in fall, her bit of earth |
|
Will freeze and kill them all |
|
A bit of earth, a bit of earth, |
|
A bit of earth, a bit of earth |
