The Garden of my Mind

[Verse 1] In the garden of my mind Brambles clutch the broken ground Bitterness in crooked rows Silent thorns that circle round [Verse 2] Anger like a twisted vine Coiling where the roses slept Old resentments Choking roots Feeding on bitter thoughts I kept [Chorus] Pull the weeds One by one Name the hurt Then let it be done Make a clearing Gentle and kind Spring of hope within my mind Lift the stones Let light come through Where the soil was bruised and spent. Plant a promise Soft and true Oh Spring of hope I welcome you [Verse 3] Just look within, A corner by the wall Still remembers morning rain Little flowers Holding on Blooming shy beneath the pain [Bridge] I will kneel in this rough earth (mmm) Hands in soil and trembling still Every weed I choose to lose Makes a place for life and free will [Chorus] Pull the weeds One by one Name the hurt Then let it be done Make a clearing Gentle and kind Spring of hope within my mind Lift the stones Let light come through Where the soil was bruised and spent. Plant a promise Soft and true Oh Spring of hope I welcome you [Outro] In the garden of my mind New green shoots begin to climb Flowers will bloom Happiness in peaceful rows Trees of wisdom in patient time
