    My mom used to sing this to me when I was really little to help me to sleep... I only remember that cuz it would make me cry cuz she had the voice of an angle.. then on m 5th birthday she gave me a muppets VHS that had this song.. and I even sang it my daughter before I lost rights over a battle 🥰 love you momma.. she stopped singing because her father (my grandpappy) passed 7 years ago... 😓 She still goes to church but I havent heard her voice in so long (singing voice) she's still alive but she doesn't sing anymore 😭

    Rest In Peace John Denver, I hope you’re in heaven, and you’ve missed so much since you’ve been gone. New buildings, new businesses, new everything!!! I really do hope you’re in heaven and at peace John. I will always remember your angelic voice and you’re kind gentle spirit with your heartwarming music. I love you so much.

    Lyics:
    Inch by inch, row by row
    Gonna make this garden grow
    All it takes is a rake and a hoe
    And a piece of fertile ground
    Inch by inch, row by row
    Someone bless these seeds I sow
    Someone warm them from below
    Till the rain comes tumblin' down
    Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones
    Man is made of dreams and bones
    Feel the need to grow my own
    'Cause the time is close at hand
    Rainful rain, sun and rain
    Find my way in nature's chain
    Tune my body and my brain
    To the music from the land
    Plant your rows straight and long
    Temper them with prayer and song
    Mother Earth will make you strong
    If you give her love and care
    Old crow watchin' hungrily
    From his perch in yonder tree
    In my garden I'm as free
    As that feathered thief up there
    Inch by inch, row by row
    Gonna make this garden grow
    All it takes is a rake and a hoe
    And a piece of fertile ground
    An inch by inch, row by row
    Someone bless these seeds I sow
    Someone warm them from below
    Till the rain comes tumblin' down

    I think this song is not just a children's song. And I would say it is now a folk song in the American song book. This is a lovely version, but I like Dave Mallett doing his own song.

    I'm not sure all of us understand this song presented by Arlo Guthrie the way he meant it to be understood. He was arguing against sameness all over the world. We each have our own particular culture. We should not change it to be uniform. You can't solve problems kilometer by kilometer. We have to solve our problems the way we started them: inch by inch. That young 20-year-old (in Arlo's version) failed to understand our history. The uniqueness of each culture.

      Respectfully, Sir/Ma'am,
      I think that there are those in this world who make a point of not only discerning our differences, but also make them a point of contention; a need for comparison, competition, and there are others who absolutely embrace our differences on the surface,and allow everyone to be equal, as long as they have the bare minimum to afford everyone else the same.
      We're already more the same than what we're being told, we have more in common already than the petty differences that have been impressed upon us, and if our differences become a reason to compete, or be jealous, or an excuse to not try, then what are we, really?
      I believe that humans, with all of their faults and flaws, can still be able to accept and be understanding of each other, without sacrificing their own identity.
