email : victorygardensforall@gmail.com PLAY the Victory Garden Song Lyrics As a child I was proud to be an America We had ingenuity and spirit I see now we have The highest percentage of our population in prison The highest percentage of our population on medically prescribed mood altering drugs The highest percentage of people with cancer IN THE WHOLE WORLD And I wonder, ARE WE STILL HERE In my heart I know we are still here. Song: Last night I had this crazy dream A world where no one was hungry I woke up this morning and planted a tree. Some day it will bear fruit for me. Chorus: Come and garden with me Touch the earth and connect with your roots FOOD does grow on trees COME ON put on your gardening boots Isn't it divine To pick ripe tomatoes off the vine No need to pout when the gas runs out It not hard to have a garden in your back yard Chorus What if everyone had a garden Why would anyone want a garden I want a garden because I am outside In the sun, the wind, the mist and the clouds I really like playing in the dirt And I get a prize My salad, my dinner and my desert Won't you come and garden with me. Spend time with your family in the sun Pick up your shovel and become as one Notice the butterfly in the tree Nature and man in har-mon-y Chorus Fertile soil fuels our life force Tend it well and everything grows Recycle your waste, make the most of your compost Return it all to the source Chorus Now comes your favorite subject -- research Studies show that prisoners who garden get out of prison and do not go back in. People who are depressed who garden are no longer depressed Gardening has helped people overcome cancer Why It connects us to our ingenuity and spirit And I wonder, ARE WE STILL HERE In my heart I know we are still here. Won't you come and garden with me I'll gladly garden with you. What we do affects the world our children inherit Help to alleviate future sorrow Enjoy the bounty of nature as seen in the carrot Enrich the world, plant a garden tomorrow Chorus ZenDreamers Design |
