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
