| Out in the garden, amongst the bushes, Michael is crying. | |
| Caught in a spider's web, its broken wings beating, a butterfly dying. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la | |
| And they in their wisdom say | |
| 'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' | |
| Well they must be blind, if they can't see what Michael sees. | |
| Michael is silent, talking to no one of things that he sees. | |
| But out in the garden, he talks in soft whispers, like the wind in the leaves. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la. | |
| And they in their wisdom say | |
| 'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' | |
| They've seen the signs, but they can't see what Michael sees. | |
| And inside the building someone is calling his name through the halls. | |
| But he doesn't answer, though he easily hears each leaf as it falls. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la. | |
| And they in their wisdom say | |
| 'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' | |
| Well they must be blind, for they can't see what Michael sees. | |
| Michael where are you ? | |
| Michael where are we, | |
| We who see that there's something wrong with your mind? | |
| And inside the garden Michael is smiling, at peace in his world. | |
| At one with the insects, the flowers, and the trees, and the wind and the birds. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la. | |
| Oh Michael sees all | |
| Behind the high walls | |
| Surrounding his kingdom, | |
| Whilst we in our wisdom | |
| Still trapped in the spider's web | |
| Far from the flow and ebb | |
| Of life in the garden | |
| But Michael has pardoned | |
| Us for he sees | |
| That really he's free | |
| And there's nothing to mend | |
| For his wings are not broken | |
| And they in their wisdom say | |
| 'Michael's got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' | |
| They've seen the signs, but Michael feels fine inside the garden. |
| Out in the garden, amongst the bushes, Michael is crying. | |
| Caught in a spider' s web, its broken wings beating, a butterfly dying. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
| la, la, la, la, la, la, la | |
| And they in their wisdom say | |
| ' Michael' s got something wrong, wrong, wrong with his mind' | |
| Well they must be blind, if they can' t see what Michael sees. | |
| Michael is silent, talking to no one of things that he sees. | |
| But out in the garden, he talks in soft whispers, like the wind in the leaves. | |
| Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la, | |
