My Secret Garden

You are always that mildly shy and quiet guy that I knew. Your gaze never once stayed too long on me, always turning away whenever I caught your glance. And when I talked to you, you would always smile, listen attentively and reply back with those often, lost and irrelevant topics. Your feeble yet so sincere attempt at engaging a conversation with me never fails to bring a light smile in my heart. It lifted my weariness at the end of the day. In a world of harshness, you were the only comfort I can ever find. Every day, I long to rush back home right into the safety of your arms.

But I will never tell you how much you mean to me. I am afraid once I do, you will see the truth in how much I need you more than you need me. You will see me in a different light and treat me in disgust. You see, in my secret garden, it’s a place where our hearts will never harden, a rose without a thorn, a lover without scorn…………..

(Lets sing together now)
In my secret garden, I'm looking for the perfect flower
Waiting for my finest hour
In my secret garden, I still believe after all
I still believe and I fall
You plant the seed and I'll watch it grow
I wonder when I'll start to show
I wonder if I'll ever know
Where my place is
Where my face is
I know it's in here somewhere
I just wish I knew the color of my hair
I know the answer's hiding somewhere
In my secret garden, there's

A petal that isn't torn
A heart that will not harden
A place that I can be born
In my secret garden
A rose without a thorn
A lover without scorn

If I wait for the rain to kiss me and undress me
Will I look like a fool, wet and a mess
Will I still be thirsty
Will I pass the test
And if I look for the rainbow, will I see it
Or will it pass right by
'Cause I'm not supposed to see
'Cause the blind are never free
Even at my secret garden
There's a chance that I could harden
That's why I'll keep on looking, for


I still believe, I still believe
'Cause after all is said and done
I'm still alive
And the boots have come and trampled on me
And I'm still alive
'Cause the sun has kissed me, and caressed me
And I'm strong, and there's a chance
That I will grow, this I know
So I'm still looking for

Somewhere in fountain blue
Lies my secret garden
