The songs you're singing, well, they could be on the radio,
But you don't care, you'd rather take your life, just slow,
You've got nothing in your pocket,
But you sing about the things you find,
You've got no friends,
But you've got a little peace of mind.
So find a little, paradise in the garden,
Down in the park, or, on the ocean shore,
When you can find, beauty all around you,
Who could ask for any more?
They say you've gotta change,
'Cause they say it's not good for you,
But you don't know,
What they want you to do,
They say you've got to find some kind, of shiny crown,
Sounds to you like they only want to hold you down.
So find a little, paradise in the garden,
Down in the park, or, on the ocean shore,
When you can find, beauty all around you,
Who could ask for any more?
The songs you're singing, well, they could be on the radio,
But you wander here and there,
Like a vagabond with seeds to sew,
You've got nothing in your pocket,
But you sing about the things you find,
You've got no friends,
But I know you are a friend of mine.
So find a little, paradise in the garden,
Down in the park, or on the ocean shore,
When you can see the beauty all around you,
Who could ask for any more?
