Out in the garden amongst the bushes
Michael is crying
Caught in a spider's web its broken
wings beating a butterfly dying
Oh la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
And they in their wisdom say
Michael's got something
wrong wrong wrong with his mind
Well they must be blind if
they can't see what Michael sees
Michael is silent talking to no
one of things that he sees
But out in the garden he talks
in soft whispers like the wind in the leaves
Oh la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
And they in their wisdom say
Michael's got something
wrong wrong wrong with his mind
They've seen the signs
but they can't see what Michael sees
And inside the building
someone is calling his name
through the halls
But he doesn't answer though
he easily hears each leaf as it falls
Oh la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
And they in their wisdom say
Michael's got something
wrong wrong wrong with his mind
Well they must be blind for
they can't see what Michael sees
Michael where are you
Michael where are we
We who see that there's
something wrong with your mind
And inside the garden Michael
is smiling at peace in his world
At one with the insects
the flowers and the trees
and the wind and the birds
Oh la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la
Oh Michael sees all
Behind the high walls
Surrounding his kingdom
Whilst we in our wisdom
Still trapped in the spider's web
Far from the flow and ebb
Of life in the garden
But Michael has pardoned
Us for he sees
That really he's free
And there's nothing to mend
For his wings are not broken
And they in their wisdom say
Michael's got something
wrong wrong wrong with his mind
They've seen the signs but
Michael feels fine inside the garden
