JJ Heller - Gardening Lyrics

There's a feeling like a weight upon my chest A heavy heart that keeps me up all night It's an old familiar battle That I'm learning how to fight

I'm gonna walk outside Put my hands in the dirt Gonna lay a seed in the broken earth Gonna wait for the sun Pray for the rain My act of resistance is gardening

My arms can't hold the worries of this world But still I am afraid of letting go When life is overwhelming And I start to lose my hope

I'm gonna walk outside Put my hands in the dirt Gonna lay a seed in the broken earth Gonna wait for the sun Pray for the rain My act of resistance is

Trusting that the spring will come after the snow And every blooming flower is a miracle Each single seed holds a hidden life And good things grow in good time

I'm holding on when darkness comes I'm on the vine I'm not alone My protest is hope and light My marigolds are picket signs I'm gonna walk outside

I'm gonna walk outside Put my hands in the dirt Gonna lay a seed in the broken earth Gonna wait for the sun Pray for the rain My act of resistance is gardening Gardening

I'm gonna walk outside
