Lyrics Garden Song - Raffi

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
Inch by inch, and row by row, please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below, till the rains come a-tumbling down
Pullin' weeds and picking stones, we are made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own, as 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 from the land
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, please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below, till the rains come a-tumbling down
Plant your rows straight and long, season them with prayer and song
Mother earth will make you strong, if you give her love and care
An old crow watches hungrily, from his perch in yonder tree
And in my garden I’m as free, as that feathered thief up there
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, please bless these seeds I sow
Please warm them from below, till the rains come a-tumbling down
