Eyes down, tuned out

Real life fades to the background

On line, al the time

Mama's in the corner, pulling hair

Daddy's giving speeches, and ultimatums

Nothing seems to sink in at all

What's going on

Wit's end, they don't understand me

How I'm feeling, all the pressures deep inside

Are slowly building, it's overwhelming

I need an escape a getaway

Forget about the hurt and pain

It seems we've grown worlds apart

What's going on

What's going on

We don't communicate the way we did back then

The thoughts and feelings deep inside are locked away from them

What's going on 

What's going on

Look up, tell how you're feeling

Is there something that I can help you deal with

I'll try to understand, though I'm only human

What's going on

Oh tell me tell me

What's going on

Secret garden, an oasis
A place of hope, a second home
Where the worries of the world fade away
Secret garden, an oasis
With a rainbow slowly growing
Ever changing with the seasons, come what may

The birds and wildlife come and go
Warm breezes dance and play
Minutes turn to hours
Sky shifts from light to gray
That crescent moon and its milky glow
Transforms this magic place
With a book in hand and that night wind song
I slowly turn the page

Secret garden, an oasis
Contentment is thy name
The toils and labors to maintain
Are a joy to undertake
Secret garden, an oasis
Dirty hands and sun kissed skin
With the morning light and a steaming cup
I can't wait to begin

<Instrumental>

The birds and wildlife come and go
Warm breezes dance and play
Minutes turn to hours
Sky shifts from light to gray
That crescent moon and its milky glow
Transforms this magic place
With a book in hand and that night wind song
I slowly turn the page

To that secret garden, an oasis
A place of hope, a second home
Where the worries of the world fade away
