Joseph Tell Me There's a Garden song lyrics

We buried a seed underneath the ground

We waited to see if the rain would come down

Tell me it's a good start

I'm a good heart

And this might turn us back around

Tell me that the rain will fall

That this garden wall

Will see us grow up out the ground

We watched as the seasons came and passed

Autumn, winter, and spring: still the drought outlasted us

Tell me it was a good start

I'm still a good heart

Though I couldn't grow us a flower

I can't make the rain fall

Or the trees tall

Any more than what yours could be ours

You're not ours

Oh, there's no more reason to wait

Oh, there's no more reason to wait

Oh, there's no more reason to wait

Oh, there's no more reason to wait

Tell me there's a garden where my flowers will grow

Maybe then all my starting will keep going, oh

I hope so
