A Bit Of Earth Lyrics - Charlotte Church

From the "secret garden" 

A bit of earth 

She wants a little bit of earth 

She'll plant some seeds 

The seeds will grow 

The flowers bloom 

But is their bounty 

What she needs 

How can she chance 

To love a little bit of earth 

Does she not know 

The earth is old 

And doesn't care if 

One small girl wants things to grow 

She needs a friend 

She needs a father 

Brother, sister 

Mother's arms 

She needs to laugh 

She needs to dance 

And learn to work 

Her girlish charms 

She needs a home 

The only thing she really needs 

I cannot give 

Instead she asks 

A bit of earth 

To make it live 

She should have a pony 

Gallop 'cross the moor 

She should have a doll's house 

With a hundred rooms per floor 

Why can't she ask for a treasure 

Something that money can buy 

That won't die 

When I'd give her the world 

She asks instead 

For some earth 

A bit of earth 

She wants a little bit of earth 

She'll plant some seeds 

The seeds will grow 

The flowers bloom 

Their beauty just the thing she needs 

She'll grow to love the tender roses 

Lilies fair, the iris tall 

And then in fall, her bit of earth 

Will freeze and kill them all 

A bit of earth, a bit of earth, 

A bit of earth, a bit of earth
