Inch by Inch

Inch by inch, row by row,

gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row,

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please keep them safe below,

'til the rain comes tumbling down

Pulling weeds and picking stones,

we are made of dreams and bones

Need a spot to call my own

'cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain,

I find my way in nature's chain

Tune my body and my brain

to the music of the land

Inch by inch, row by row,

gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row,

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please keep them safe below,

'til the rain comes tumbling down

So plant your rows short or long,

Season with a prayer and a song

Mother Earth will make you strong

if you give her love and care

Old crow watches from a tree,

Got his hungry eye on me

In my garden I'm as free

as that feathered thief up there

Inch by inch, row by row,

gonna make this garden grow

Gonna mulch it deep and low

Gonna make it fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row,

Please bless these seeds I sow

Please keep them safe below,

'til the rain comes tumbling down
