I Build This Garden For Us
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics

I build this garden for us, I build this garden for us
Lenny Kravitz emphasizes his decision to build an ideal garden for him and his partner, repeating the line twice.

In this garden This lovely garden I build a temple of love
Lenny Kravitz creates a metaphorical garden where he builds a temple of love.

Walk with the Father Won't be a bother To touch the Earth as it was
He intends to build a garden where he can be the mediator between his partner and the divine father, and they connect with nature as it was intended.

We'll farm the land each day And in the sunshine we will play Glory glory for the day He came Our tears had gone away
Lenny Kravitz desires to live a simple life where he can work during the day and play in the sunshine with his partner, reminiscing how that day would bring joy and take away tears.

We'll make love in the shade And in the ocean we will bathe Little fishies in the sea Say hooray
He hopes to express his love with his partner in the garden, sometimes enjoying a swim on a hot day and playing with fish that come their way.

In this garden Our children will grow Darling this is a must We'll be so happy Our little family So full of love and trust
Lenny Kravitz dreams of starting a family with his partner where children can grow and thrive in a loving environment filled with trust.

And darling when we're old We'll close the gates and lock the door Our love will never fade away When it's pure it forever last
He envisions growing old with his partner and cherishing their love, locking everyone else out and keeping their bond strong.

And darling when you're cold I'll hold you tight and keep you warm Little darlin' gonna make it through the storm You'll never be alone
He promises his partner to be their support during tough times and keep them warm and comforted and to remind them that they will never be alone.

In this garden They'll be no war No racial prejudice You'll be my brother Of any color You'll just be okay with us
Lenny Kravitz envisions a world free of hate where every person is seen as a brother, regardless of color or nationality. And the garden reflects this paradise.

We'll live each day in peace In hope that we will one day reach The rest of the world When they are ready to be teached
He yearns for a day when his utopia will inspire the rest of the world to embrace peace and love, and when humanity is mature enough to be taught.

The kingdom will come Thy will will be done On Earth as it is in heaven I build this garden I build this garden for us Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
He references a religious theme where he wants to create a garden that resembles heaven on earth, hoping that his actions will bring his dream to life.

I build this garden, yeah No war no more Gonna build yeah Yeah ouh.
Kravitz concludes the song, confirming that he will construct his perfect garden, and reflects the hope that he feels and that his wish of a peaceful and utopian world is soon to come.
