This version of the "The Girl I Mean To Be" is as written in the London production produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company and recorded by Natalie Morgan on the London Cast Recording. The arrangement differs slightly from the original version with a new introduction, a different melody and harmony in the bridge and a more definitive ending.

"The Girl I Mean to Be" is a poignant song from the beloved musical "The Secret Garden," which is based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel. In this touching number, the character of Mary Lennox reflects on her journey of self-discovery and the desire to embrace her true identity. As she navigates the challenges of her new life in the English countryside, Mary yearns to shed her past and blossom into the girl she aspires to be—a girl filled with hope, warmth, and connection.

The song captures the essence of Mary's inner conflict as she grapples with her feelings of loneliness, loss, and the transformative power of love and friendship. With its haunting melody and heartfelt lyrics, "The Girl I Mean to Be" serves as a pivotal moment in the musical, showcasing Mary's growth and resilience. It encapsulates the themes of healing and renewal that permeate the story, illustrating how the magical garden becomes a symbol of her awakening spirit.

Through this beautiful piece, audiences are invited to witness Mary's evolution from a troubled, isolated child to a courageous young girl ready to embrace the world around her, making it a memorable highlight of "The Secret Garden.".
