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
And then in fall, 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
From the "secret garden" 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 And then in fall, 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 Explain Request ×
