Mind Gardens Lyrics - Younger Than Yesterday - 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
