A Bit Of Earth (The Secret Garden) Songtext / Lyric

A bit of earth

She wants a little bit of earth

She'll plant some seeds

The seeds will grow

The flowers bloom but is their bounty what she needs?



How can she chance to love a little bit of earth?

Does she not know the earth is hard

and doesn't care if one small girl wants things to grow?



She needs a friend

She needs a father, brother, sister, mother's arms

She needs to laugh,

she needs to dance and learn to work her girlish charm



She needs a home

The only thing she really needs I cannot give

Instead she asks a bit of earth to make it live






She should have a pony

Gallop 'cross the moor

She should have a doll's house with a hundred rooms per floor

Why can't she ask for a treasure?

Something that money can buy that won't die



When I'd give her the world

she asks instead for some earth



A bit of earth

She wants a little bit of earth

She'll plant some seeds

The seeds will grow

The flowers bloom their beauty just the thing she needs



She'll grow to love

the tender roses, lilies fair, the iris tall

and then in fall, her bit of earth will freeze and kill them all



A bit of earth

A bit of earth

A bit of earth

A bit of EARTH!
