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 groundInch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumblin' downPullin' weeds and pickin' stones
Man is made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own
'Cause the time is close at handRainful rain, sun and rain
Find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain
To the music from the landPlant your rows straight and long
Temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth will make you strong
If you give her love and careOld crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up thereInch by inch, row by row
Gonna make this garden grow
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile groundAn inch by inch, row by row
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
Till the rain comes tumblin' down
