Garden of Your Mind Lyrics

[Intro - spoken]
Hey Neighbor, welcome again to this neighborhood. I'd like to show you something. Do you know what this is? Well, maybe if I push this button. This is a cassette player with a little cassette in here. And there's nothing written on it so we'll have to play it to see what's on it

[Verse 1]
Did you ever imagine things?
Are they scary things?
Did you ever imagine things
Things you'd like to have?
Did you ever see a cat's eyes in the dark
And wonder what they are?
Did you ever pretend about things like that before?

[Hook]
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your Mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind

It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
And they'll grow

[Verse 2]
Imagine every person that you see
Is someone different
From every other person in the world

Some can do things
Some can do others
Did you ever think about the many things you've learned to do?
[Hook]
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your Mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind

It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
And they'll grow

[Bridge]
Did you feel like going like that? (hand snap)
Let's give the fish some food
Mr McFeely, I didn't order any whistles
(music break)
That's what they call these slide things

Did you feel like going like that? (hand snap)
There are so many things to learn about in this world
And so many people who can help us learn


[Hook]
Did ever grow anything in the Garden of your mind?
You can grow ideas
In the Garden of your mind

It's good to be curious about many things
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think
You can think about things and make believe
All you have to do is think

And they'll grow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
