A Bit of Earth Lyrics by Philip Quast

The Secret Garden (Original London Cast Recording)

0

[ARCHIBALD]
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
But is their bounty what she needs?
How can she chance
To love a little bit of earth?
Does she not know
The earth is old
And doesn't care if
One small girl wants things to grow?
She needs a friend
She needs a father, brother, sister
Mother's arms
She needs to laugh
She needs to dance
And learn to work her girlish charms
She needs a home
The only thing
She really needs I cannot give
Instead she asks
A bit of earth
To make it live
She should have a pony
Gallop 'cross the moor
She should have a doll's house
With a hundred rooms per floor
Why can't she ask for a treasure?
Something that money can buy
That won't die
When I'd give her the world
She asks, instead, for some earth
A bit of earth
She wants a little bit of earth
She'll plant some seeds
The seeds will grow
The flowers bloom
Their beauty just the thing she needs
She'll grow to love
The tender roses, lilies fair
The iris tall
But then in time
Her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all
A bit of earth, a bit of earth
A bit of earth, a bit of earth
