Garden Song

Inch by inch

Row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch

Row by row

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please warm them from below

Till the rains come a-tumblin' down

Pullin' weeds

And pickin' stones

We are made of dreams and bones

Feel the need to grow my own

As the time is close at hand

Grain for grain

Sun and rain

Find my way in nature's chain

Tune my body and my brain

To the music from the land

Inch by inch

Row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch

Row by row

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please warm them from below

Till the rains come a-tumbling down

Plant your rows

Straight and long

Season them with prayer and song

Mother Earth will make you strong

If you give her love and care

An old crow watches hungrily

From his perch in yonder tree

And in my garden I'm as free

As that feathered thief up there

Inch by inch

Row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch

Row by row

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please warm them from below

Till the rains come a-tumblin' down
