Garden Song - Raffi

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
