Secret Garden
Madonna Lyrics

In my secret garden, I'm looking for the perfect flower
Madonna is searching for something perfect in her own world or inner sanctum.

Waiting for my finest hour
She is waiting for her best moment and moment of glory.

In my secret garden, I still believe after all
Madonna still believes in something significant even after a long time of searching.

I still believe and I fall
She fails repeatedly in her search, but she still has faith in finding her perfect flower.

You plant the seed and I'll watch it grow
There is someone who helps her in her journey, but Madonna's role is just to watch and wait.

I wonder when I'll start to show
She wonders when the fruits of her labor will manifest or advance.

I wonder if I'll ever know Where my place is Where my face is
She has doubts about her identity and finding her place in the world.

I know it's in here somewhere I just wish I knew the color of my hair I know the answer's hiding somewhere
Madonna believes that the answers to her questions are in her secret world but she does not have all the answers.

In my secret garden, there's A petal that isn't torn A heart that will not harden A place that I can be born
Her innermost world has beautiful and perfect things and also a place where she can be reborn again.

A rose without a thorn A lover without scorn
Madonna desires a love or lover without any flaws and negative traits.

If I wait for the rain to kiss me and undress me Will I look like a fool, wet and a mess Will I still be thirsty Will I pass the test
She wonders what happens if she opens herself to vulnerability, love, and personal growth, unsure if it will be worth it in the long run.

And if I look for the rainbow, will I see it Or will it pass right by 'Cause I'm not supposed to see 'Cause the blind are never free
Madonna reflects on the possibility of seeing beauty, but sometimes the limitations of the human condition prevent them from doing so.

Even at my secret garden There's a chance that I could harden That's why I'll keep on looking, for
Her inner world is not immune to changes, but she perseveres and continues to search for perfection.

I still believe, I still believe 'Cause after all is said and done I'm still alive
She still believes in finding what she is looking for, and despite past failures, she is still alive and okay.

And the boots have come and trampled on me And I'm still alive
Even after being hurt and wronged, she is still alive and resilient.

'Cause the sun has kissed me, and caressed me And I'm strong, and there's a chance That I will grow, this I know
Despite the hardships, Madonna still finds moments of happiness, and believes there is still room for growth and development.

So I'm still looking for A petal that isn't torn A heart that will not harden A place that I can be born
Her search continues for the perfect flower, love, and rebirth in her secret garden.

It's in my secret garden A rose without a thorn A lover without scorn Somewhere in fountain blue Lies my secret garden
Her secret garden is where the perfect flower is along with the ideal love and a place for rebirth; it is yet to be discovered.
