Chorus:

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 someone bless these seeds i sow

Someone warm them from below

Til the rain comes tumbling 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

Grain for grain, sun and rain i'll find my way in nature's chain

Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land



Chorus



Plant your rows straight and long,

Temper them with prayer and song

Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care

An old crow watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree

In my garden i'm as free as that feathered thief up there



Chorus
