The Garden We Forgot

I walked away from things I used to know

Let them fade like they were never mine

I kept my head down, moving slow

Afraid to let the moment shine

There's a garden we forgot inside

Still alive beneath the stone

Every hope we left behind

Was only overgrown

All it needs is open ground

And a little bit of heart

There's a garden we forgot inside

And it's ready to restart

I built my walls a little too well

Called it strength, called it control

But nothing ever learns to grow

If it's buried in the cold

There's a garden we forgot inside

Still breathing under doubt

Every word we never tried

Is learning how to come out

All it needs is open ground

And a little bit of heart

There's a garden we forgot inside

And it's ready to restart

I don't need to be who I was

To become what's calling me

I don't need to fear the change, change

That's unfolding quietly

There's a garden we forgot inside
