[Verse 1]
Inch by inch, row by row
I'm 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
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain come tumblin' down

[Verse 2]
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
We are made of dreams and bones
I feel the need to grow my own
'Cause the time is close at hand (Time is close at hand)
Grain for grain, sun and rain
I'll find my way in nature's chain
I tune my body and my brain
To the music of the land
(Ooh, come on and sing it with us)

[Verse 1]
Inch by inch, row by row (Gonna make this garden)
I'm gonna make this garden grow (Takes is a rake and)
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground (Inch by inch)
Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)
Someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain come tumblin' down
[Verse 3]
So, plant your rows straight and long
And temper them with prayer and song
Mother Earth can keep you strong
If you give her love and care
Now, an old crow watchin' hungrily
From his perch in yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free
As that feathered thief up there
(Ooh, a cappella now)

[Verse 1]
Inch by inch, row by row (Gonna make this garden)
I'm gonna make this garden grow (All it takes is a rake)
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
And a piece of fertile ground (A little louder now)
Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)
Someone bless these seeds I sow (Someone warm them from)
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain come tumblin'

[Refrain]
Inch by inch, row by row (Someone bless)
Someone bless these seeds I sow (Someone warm them)
Someone warm them from below
'Til the rain come tumblin' down
