The Pea Inside the Pod

about

I love gardening and just had to write about it.

lyrics

I’ve been digging in the dirt, planting all my seeds
Hoping that the soils has everything my plants need
I double dig the earth, I compost all my food
It finds me in the sweetest place, the softest, gentle mood
It puts me in touch with the elements of god
Whatever you may call it, it’s the pea inside the pod

I’m down on my knees, fingernails so gritty
It’s hard work but rewarding, nothing very pretty
When those seeds pop their heads with the greenest I have known
There’s something satisfying knowing it’s something I have grown
It puts me in touch with the elements of god
Whatever you may call it, it’s the pea inside the pod

Bridge
Then summer comes around, tomatoes on the vine
Pickles in their jars, elderberry wine
And feeling like I’m moving with the cycles of the moon

solo

I’ve been eating from the garden for at least a month or two
There’s nothing any better than home grown food
And feeling like I’m moving with the cycles of the moon

When fall finally arrives, I put the garden to bed
Before I even realize I’ve got spring inside my head
I’m thinking how I’ll rotate, I’m thinking about a plan
It’s more than just the garden, it’s the way I play my hand
It puts me in touch with the elements of god
Whatever you may call it, it’s the pea inside the pod
