Lyrics
how to cultivate a garden
-from cd ?The Opposite Only Better?
(c) 2000, words and music, Colleen Coadic
here?s a little direction I read on a pack of seeds
one part H20 two parts sunshine makes me
I?ve tried tending everyone?s garden but me
but every time I come home nothing?s left of me
yah
so I raked up all the topsoil
I dug down deep dirt
for a little while only water flowed to fuel my hurt
my neighbors watched with interest
what a little pack of seeds!
one part H20 two parts sunshine makes me
the season will be changing soon
a flower to a field of bloom
with a little tenderness
a will to be
with a little room to grow
I believe
with a little happiness
and just one seed
cultivate a garden in me
the season will be changing soon
a flower to a field of bloom
I can feel it warm my face
transported seasons in time and space
with a little tenderness
a will to be
with a little room to grow
I believe
with a little happiness
and just one seed
cultivate a garden in me
just let others be alive
you can?t take them on a magic carpet ride
they must learn to walk alone before they fly
singed wings need new lullabies
to soothe the senses soothe the soul
sing to angels sing to trolls
cultivate a garden in me
how to cultivate ,
how to cultivate a garden in me
yah
the seasons will be changing soon
