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 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      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      A petal that isn't torn   A heart that will not harden   A place that I can be born   It's in my secret garden      A rose without a thorn   A lover without scorn      Somewhere in fountain blue   Lies my secret garden
