Garden
Anderson/Wakeman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm moving to the centre
I know the sun will shine on today
Your love is like a flower
You give so much attention
You move your heart to make my whole day
Knowing that you are the sun in my life
With love in your heart
And if I ever could be
Alive with emotion
I really would believe I would say
I'm planting the garden
I'm moving to the centre
I know the sun will shine on today
Our deepest fear is not that we're nothing
Our deepest fear is knowing
We are beautiful amazing and true
So if you really ask me
The questions that will come through
I always will believing in you
So every time I listen
I'm planting in the garden
Knowing that the flowers will grow
Just like in every raindrop
It needs to greet the sunshine
It needs to know that you love it so
I'm planting in the garden
I'm moving to the centre...

This music makes me smile. Jon's voice makes the day brighter and Rick's playing puts a sparkle in it. Thank You guys for the Joy. Rick should do Stand-up too. He's hilarious.

To the spìritual lyrics of Anderson, Wakeman is a fine compliment. In any case, I consider that Vangelis, with all his splendour, made an even better match. How wonderful it would be that both Jon and mr. Papathanassio made a new album. I fully understand they are no longer young lads...both are over 75 years of age now.

We are truly here for each other. We are each other's reflection, if we can see the light in each other, we can remember it in ourselves. There is no separation. In the planting of the seeds, the growing is in the knowing...trusting. Center. #LoveIsMusicMusicIsLove
