To grow a garden you've gotta have patience You need to work in it everyday Mother nature will give you the most resistance But you can turn it into something anyway, hey Some throw seeds and cross their fingers And some plant what they want in a row If my thumb was just a little bit greener I'd have what I've been trying to grow But I've been able to stand on my own acre of land And when the wind blows me away I've been able to stay, hey, hey And some call it luck, some call it will I've got something inside no storm can kill Yeah, I've been through the fire, I've been through the flood And that sun beats me down but I get back up 'Cause I've been able to stand on my own acre of land And when the wind blows me away I've been able I've been able to stand on my own acre of land And when the wind blows me away I've been able to stay, hey I'm able to stand up I'm able to stay, hey 'cause I'm strong You gotta be strong in this world You gotta be so strong Gotta be strong Gotta be strong Gotta be strong Gotta be strong
