Victory Garden

Mockingbird morning dew

Another day bright and new

There’s a prayer that I carry with me To be kind to be meek

To love my enemies

To keep hope in the face of darkness

So we sow the seeds in our victory garden Hands in the earth

So the heart doesn’t harden

The cries of our children

Won’t soon be forgotten

Each one a flower in our victory garden

For the rain for the sun

For the hardships that come

We will carry this burden together To be strong for the weak

Song for those who can’t speak Hand in hand no matter the weather

So we sow the seeds in our victory garden Hands in the earth

So the heart doesn’t harden

The cries of our children

Won’t soon be forgotten

Each one a flower in our victory garden

I remember the day I saw innocence fade

Saw her tears through the glass in the window

Of the bus that was parked, shots were still firing off Oh god who are we truly defending

So we sow the seeds in our victory garden Hands in the earth

So the heart doesn’t harden

The cries of our children

Won’t soon be forgotten

Each one a flower in our victory garden

Rows and rows and rows of roses Rows and rows and rows of roses Each one a flower in our victory garden
