The Secret Garden the Musical - Wick Lyrics
MARY: (spoken)
It's cold and gray.
The trees are gray, the earth is gray.
And there's this clingy kind
of haze over everything.
DICKON: (spoken)
Like a body were in a dream.
MARY: (spoken)
It's the most forgotten place I've ever seen.
With loose gray branches
looped all around the trees like ropes or snakes,
and dead roots and leaves all tangled up on the ground.
So still and cold.
DICKON: (spoken)
But did you take a look real close look at anything?
Did you scrape away a bit of the bark
and have a real look at anything?
Mary, the strongest roses will fair
thrive on bein' neglected,
if the soil is rich enough.
They'll run all wild, and spread
and spread til they're a wonder.
MARY (spoken)
You mean it might be alive? But how can we tell?
DICKON (spoken)
Oh, I can tell if a thing is wick.
MARY (spoken)
Wick! I've heard Ben say Wick.
DICKON:
When a thing is wick it has a life about it.
Maybe not a life like you and me.
But somewhere there's a secret streak of green inside it,
Now come and let me show you what i mean.
When a thing is wick it has a light around it.
Maybe not a light that you can see.
But hiding down below a spark's asleep inside it,
Just waiting for the right time to be seen.
You clear away the dead parts
So the tender buds can form.
Loosen up the earth and
Let the roots get warm.
Let the roots get warm.
When a thing is wick, it has a way of knowing
When it's safe to grow again, you will see.
When there's sun and water sweet enough to feed it,
It will climb up through the earth a pale new green.
You clear away the dead parts
So the tender buds can form.
Loosen up the earth and
Let the roots get warm.
Let the roots get warm.
Come a mild day.
Come a warm rain.
Come a snowdrop a comin' up.
Come a lily, come a lilac.
Come to call, callin all of us to come and
See...
MARY:
When a thing is wick, and someone cares about it,
And comes to work each day, like you and me,
(spoken.) Will it grow?
DICKON:
(spoken.) It will.
MARY:
Then have no doubt about it,
We'll have the grandest garden ever seen.
(spoken) Oh, Dickon,
I want it all to be wick!
Would you come and look at it with me?
DICKON: (spoken)
I'll come every day, rain or shine, if y want me to.
All that garden needs is us to come wake up.
MARY: (spoken)
But Dickon, what if we save the garden
at then Uncle Archie takes it back,
or Colin wants it?
DICKON: (spoken)
Ay, what a miracle that would be.
Gettin’ a poor crippled boy to see his mother’s garden.
DICKON & MARY:
You give a living thing
A little chance to grow.
That's how you will know if she is wick,
She'll grow.
So grow to greet the morning.
Free from ground below.
When a thing is wick,
It has a will to grow and grow.
MARY:
Come a mild day.
Come a warm rain.
Come a showdrop, a comin' up.
Come a lily, come a lilac.
Come to call,
Callin' all the rest to come
DICKON & MARY:
Callin' all of us to come,
Callin' all the world to come ...
DICKON:
I promise there's a secret streak of green below.
DICKON & MARY:
And all through the darkest nighttime,
It's waiting for the right time.
When a thing is wick, it will grow.
