Chorus:

There once was a girl in a garden

Who wondered one day what she'd be

The soul and the mind did not harden

While watching the death of the leaves

Verse [Topher]:

The mind of the young and the innocent

Free from all the hate and the ignorant

Faults of humankind, no remembrance

Thoughts of positivity minus negative images

Their love erases all the blemishes

That we receive from life scrimmages

A consequence of being born in different villages

That shape their world view before forming any sentences

They’re supposedly taught how they should function

In a world full of adults abandoning their unction

They see order's nonexistent, rampant with dysfunction

War is common place but what is rare is compunction

Compassion is a ration not often served with dinner

Now they can't go out to play until they stop and pick their gender

It can be a lot to process, a lifetime before it render

But I pray that on playback, you see the whole agenda

Chorus:

There once was a girl in a garden

Who wondered one day what she’d be

The soul and the mind did not harden

While watching the death of the leaves

Verse [D.Cure]:

She found the biggest tree where she'd be tethered to a rope

Tied a double knot to make her way from out the smoke

No one there to help her, she brought along hope

To make her way back to the place she called home

Felt a tug at every turn like “come back”

Who's pulling my strings, saying “give me some slack”

She's not a afraid of a feeling when they overreact

Rope kinda frayed, caught in the flame, hard to retract

Watching every rose wither, toes feel thorns splinters

Then knows He's with her, hard to be home before dinner

Mom promised to deliver but was tried as an intruder

Never cried, she roared like the Lion of Judah

I've been chastised and taxed I and not into it (Intuit)

I won't sit inside ruin, you don't treat me like a human

The faith kept inside, more real than those refuting

She felt tied to a tree now that girl is an illusion

Chorus:

There once was a girl in a garden

Who wondered one day what she’d be

The soul and the mind did not harden

While watching the death of the leaves

Bridge:

She dug her hands in the dirt filled ground

Grasping for something unseen

Knowing that her powers had no bounds

She held unto the nothing in the leaves

Chorus:

There once was a girl in a garden

Who wondered one day what she’d be

The soul and the mind did not harden

While watching the death of the leaves
