Homegrown (Take Care of Your Mother)
Written in support of the 'Love Your Planet, Choose Organic' Campaign (http://www.soilassociation.org/)
Ooh, this feeling, my fingers move heaven on earth
The hours I spend here tending, for all the more it’s worth
I know each delicate seedling; I know each perfect sprouting bud
I know this love I’m feeling, it courses through my blood
Because I’m homegrown
All it took was a little loving care
To be homegrown
If you hold onto my hand
I could take you there
See this glorious stretch of land: it faces south
Breathe in its magnificence, taste its sweetness in your mouth
Walk between these precious rows, feel the dirt between your toes
This is how the spirit flows from me to you
When what you know is homegrown
All it takes is a little loving care
To be homegrown
If you hold onto my hand, I could take you there
Hold onto my hand, I could take you…
(Ah) See this juicy miracle on my lips
(Ah) Fallen from my family tree
(Ah) And so this love spreads its roots, grows these wings
(Ah) And carries you and me
Because we’re homegrown
All it takes is a little loving care
When you’re homegrown
If we hold hands, we’ll soon be there, yes
Homegrown
No chemical poison, no petrol fumes
We’re homegrown
The world around me blooms
The world around me blooms
