Lyrics
The Garden Of Life
In the garden of life you'll dance with me
The music will roll in the walls of stone
Everybody's the new no-bo-dy
Feels alright when you're not alone
I want to love your innocence
I want to love your wishfulness
I want to love that look in your eye
The blossoming of confidence
(chorus:)
To take a chance; to breathe the air!
To wake up and just take the dare
There's no disconnecting; now I'm aware
For better or worse, we're here by the pair!
("For ever and ever ... we're here by a prayer!")
You're worthy of exactly you
You earn exactly what you do
Thing is, I can see right through
To the core, the being, the inside of you!
In the garden of life you'll feel the pull
Your confidence comes from being vulnerable
Don't you worry, my dear, it's a very safe place
You'll be comfortably numb in my embrace ...
(solo / bridge:)
I love you in a gentle trance
I find it in a gentle dance
I want to know you love me too
I want to be vulnerable with you
(chorus, then:)
To take a chance, to feel the pull (verse!)
Make myself vulnerable
The gentle breeze, the gentle trance
I want to know; I want to dance!
(repeat first two verses and chorus, and out)
