[Verse 1] The throne room echoes with a thousand pleas, Advisors argue like restless seas. Scrolls and decrees pile high in my hand, The weight of a kingdom, the weight of this land. [Pre-Chorus] But when the sun sets low, I know where I’ll be, A secret of silence that waits just for me. Beyond all the walls, where the desert feels still, A garden of peace, where my spirit can heal. [Chorus] I tend the flowers, I watch the water flow, Release my falcon, and I watch it go. The palms are swaying, the lilies softly gleam, This hidden garden feels like a dream. And even if no one else wants to see it, This is still my oasis. [Verse 2] They say that laughter should lighten the load, With friends at my side on the festival road. We watch the plays, we bathe in the Nile, For a moment I breathe, and I even smile. But when I offer the works of my hand, The silence returns, too heavy to stand. The songs and the stories I hoped to be known, Come back unanswered, as if I’m alone. [Bridge] Here in the stillness, the waters run clear, I find in the garden the voice I can hear. The falcon takes flight, the lilies still grow, Even if no one else wishes to know. This place reflects the heart I defend... But how I wish I had someone to share it with, in the end. [Final Chorus] I tend the flowers, I watch the water flow, Release my falcon, and I watch it go. The palms are swaying, the lilies softly gleam, This hidden garden lives on in my dream. And even if I walk this path all alone, This is still my oasis, my own. (My ooooooown...)
