I wish there was a secret garden

Where I held the only key

A garden hidden far away

That no one else could see

 

The walls would be so very high

Hidden behind the forest trees

No one could ever find it

For it would be special just to me

 

Connected by secret tunnels

And treehouses in the sky

It would hold a lifetime of adventures

And stories that were just mine

 

I wouldn’t want people to bring me flowers

For I would plant my own

Weeds are flowers too you know

Just a little under grown

 

My garden would be a special place

A secret of my own

I’d go there when I wasn’t safe

And decorate my soul

 

My garden would be full of flowers

And trees that reach the sky

Cute animals roaming freely

That would cuddle me when I cry

 

Waterfalls would splash so loud

Then trickle into streams

Swings would hang down from the trees

I would swing and feel the breeze

 

My garden would be my safest place

Where I could go to be alone

So I didn’t have to live this life

Full of fear and the unknown

 

Loyalty, trust and happiness

Would fill the garden walls

No trauma, fear or sadness

Just love forever more

 

I’m not sure I would ever show you

Where my secret garden was

You might take it for granted

I’d have to change the locks

 

I wish I had a secret garden

Where I held the only key

Nightmares would fade into the earth

Dreams would set me free

 

I wish I had a secret garden

Where I held the only key

No one could hurt me there you see

I would finally be free

 

I wish I had a secret garden

Where I held the only key

A garden hidden far away

That no one else could see.
