Inch by Inch Row by Row

Verse 1
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
Till the rain comes tumbling down

Verse 2
Pulling weeds and picking stones
We are made of dreams and bones
Need a place to call my own
Cause 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 of the land

Verse 3
Plant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother earth will make you strong
If you give her love and care
Old crow watching hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered bird up there
