The Secret Garden the Musical - A Bit of Earth Lyrics
ARCHIBALD: (spoken)
A bit of earth...
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken)
Until you are ready to send her to a school...
ARCHIBALD DR. CRAVEN:
She wants a little it is my professional advice
Bit of earth. That you continue to obey your
She'll plant some natural instincts and avoid
Seeds. Her.
ARCHIBALD:
The seeds will grow.
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken)
Archie...
ARCHIBALD:
The flowers bloom.
But is their bounty what she needs?
DR. CRAVEN: (spoken)
If I could have your signature on these leases.
ARCHIBALD:
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.
And then in fall,
Her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all,
A bit of earth, a bit of earth.
