Avant Garden
(Tyler/Perry/Frederiksen/Hudson)
(Original Album: Just Push Play, 2001)

i had a friend who spoke of fate and he
knew of another place in space and time
he told of how me and my lady could look but we would never find
said if u please i beg your pardon
sometimes the things u see they just ain't so
your life can be an avant garden
cause love's what makes your garden grow

the sun leads the way
the moon lights the sky
i see u and i
lying in my avant garden
i dream of the day
when our worlds collide
we won't be denied
here inside our avant garden

sometimes my life ain't what it's seemin'
right from the start it's what your heart's believin'
could all this just be
lucid dreamin'
but dreams just ain't enough for me

the sun leads the way
the moon ligts the sky
i see u and i
lying in my avant garden
i dream of the day
when our worlds collide
we won't be denied
here inside our avant garden

you know it just ain't right
to deal with other's shite
no one should ever be so broken hearted
dont't never be afraid
cause when u got it made
yeah u don't even have to try

so i'll be waiting in your garden
watching all your flowers grow

the sun leads the way
the moon lights the sky
i see u and i
lying in my avant garden
i dream of the day
when our worlds collide
you'll know we've arrived
here inside our avant garden

the sun brings the rain
the moon needs the sky
i see u and i
lying in my avant garden
beware of the lies
a word to the wise
there's sweet cherry pies
and truth inside our avant garden
