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

'Till the rain comes tumbling down

Pulling weeds 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

Inch by inch…

Plant your rows straight and long

Season with a prayer and song

Mother Earth will make you strong

If you give her loving care

Old crow watching from a tree

He's got his hungry eye on me

In my garden I'm as free

As that feathered thief up there
