Garden Song

Inch by inch, row by row

I'm 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

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

'Til the rain come tumblin' down

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones

We are made of dreams and bones

I feel the need to grow my own

'Cause the time is close at hand (Time is close at hand)

Grain for grain, sun and rain

I'll find my way in nature's chain

I tune my body and my brain

To the music of the land

(Ooh, come on and sing it with us)

Inch by inch, row by row (Gonna make this garden)

I'm gonna make this garden grow (Takes is a rake and)

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground (Inch by inch)

Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

'Til the rain come tumblin' down

So, plant your rows straight and long

And temper them with prayer and song

Mother Earth can keep you strong

If you give her love and care

Now, an old crow watchin' hungrily

From his perch in yonder tree

In my garden I'm as free

As that feathered thief up there

(Ooh, a cappella now)

Inch by inch, row by row (Gonna make this garden)

I'm gonna make this garden grow (All it takes is a rake)

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground (A little louder now)

Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)

Someone bless these seeds I sow (Someone warm them from)

Someone warm them from below

'Til the rain come tumblin'

Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)

Someone bless these seeds I sow (Someone warm them)

Someone warm them from below

'Til the rain come tumblin' down
