A Garden Out There

I knew not the sound of laughter

Knew not from the pain

Wondered when the sun would shine

But prayed that it would rain

I saw the clouds move that day

Marching along the lines

Breathing in the flowers

Forgotten across the times

But they said there were no flowers

It was only in my mind

No patch of green in my garden

Nothing there to find

Some said that I was dreaming

Some only called me dumb

Said that being stuck all day

Made my thinking numb

I told them it was green before

And I say that it’s still green

There’s still a garden out there

I’m not living in a dream

Close your eyes gently they say

And pray for the rains

To come water your garden

While you slip away from the pain
