Mind Gardens Songtext
von The Byrds

Once upon a time there was a garden
On a high hill
Green and blossomin′ 'round against the sea
And there the sun came
And the rain pourin′ down
Garden grew and flourished
And splattered bits of color on the ground
And it took shape and symmetry
And all of life around
But there came winds
Driven and howling, there came snow
And I feared for the garden
So I built a wall And I built another and roofed it over
Thick and strong
And kept it from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
The killing cold could not get in
But when the sun came
And the gentle rain of spring
They could not reach the garden behind those walls
It would have died
Safely, securely died
But as I longed and as I learned
I tore the walls all down
The garden still lives
