The Secret Garden Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Where have you been hiding?
You seem lost within your body and your mind
A beam of light can still remind you who you are
Wounded by the world
Your fragile nature needed shelter
In the night, we made a sanctum
Out of mind and out of sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you let me take you there?
Won't you let me take you there?

[Chorus]
Let me take you into the garden, into the garden
I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color
I'll be there

[Verse 2]
Listen to the anthem
Hear the flowers like their hymn has healing power
Take my hand and breathe in the colorful

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you let me take you there?
Won't you let me take you there?
[Chorus]
Let me take you into the garden, into the garden
I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color
I'll be there

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Let me take you into the garden, into the garden
I'll be there painting the flowers, give them color
I'll be there

[Outro]
Try to heal the heart of mine
In the garden, we find
Try to heal the heart of mine
In the garden, we find
Inside, inside

Genius Answer

AURORA said via NME

I actually wrote it quite a long time ago, I was quite a little bean back then, I just always felt like this song had quite an imaginative soul. I was a very imaginative child and wrote this song after reading the book The Secret Garden for the first time. When they asked me to make a song for the movie remake, I was so happy and tried to pitch them this old song. It was so meant to be. It was always about finding this magical place in this garden, which can also symbolise shelter. The world can be quite harsh and difficult, especially nowadays. It can feel darker than it is. It’s about this magical garden where you’re allowed to grow and nothing is trying to prevent you from just existing and breathing and being healthy.
