[Verse 1] Empty lot on the corner Cracked shoes A shovel and a seed You say "I don't know much about the future" "But I know we got mouths to feed" [Chorus] So plant a garden And feed each other Until we are free Hands in the soil Hearts getting closer You take care of you You take care of me We plant a garden and feed each other Until we are free [Verse 2] Row by row Learning patience Tomatoes tangled in our hair Kids with dirt on their faces laughing Like they forgot how to be scared [Chorus] So plant a garden And feed each other Until we are free Hands in the soil Hearts getting closer You take care of you You take care of me We plant a garden and feed each other Until we are free [Bridge] What if the borders Were just fences for beans What if our hunger Taught us how to dream Pass me a basket Pass me your grief We’ll turn it to compost We’ll turn it to peace (oh) [Chorus] Plant a garden And feed each other Until we are free Hands in the soil Hearts beating slower You take care of you You take care of me We plant a garden and feed each other Until we Until we are free
