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
 And inch by inch, and row by row
 Someone bless these seeds I sow
 Someone warm them from below
 Till the rain comes tumblin' down
 And pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
 Man is made of dreams and bones
 Feel the need to grow my own
 'Cause the time is close at hand
 And rain for grain, sun and rain
 Find my way in nature's chain
 And tune my body and my brain
 To the music from the land
 Inch by inch and row by row
 Gonna make this garden grow
 All it takes is a rake and a hoe
 And a piece of fertile ground
 And inch by inch, and row by row
 Someone bless these seeds I sow
 And someone warm them from below
 Till the rain comes tumblin' down
 Plant your rows straight and long
 Temper them with prayer and song
 And mother earth will make you strong
 If you give her love and care
 An old crow watchin' hungrily
 From his perch in yonder tree
 And in my garden I'm as free
 As that feathered thief up there
 Inch by inch and row by row
 Gonna make this garden grow
 All it takes is a rake and a hoe
 And a piece of fertile ground
 And inch by inch, and row by row
 Someone bless these seeds I sow
 And someone warm them from below
 Till the rain comes tumblin' down
