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
