i’ve never tilled a garden
\ni’ve never bent my back to strike an ax to wood
\ni’ve never raised a child and yet
\ni’ve certainly pretended that i’ve understood<\/p>\n

i’ve never built a home
\ni’ve never even built a warming fire in the cold
\ni’ve never tilled a garden
\ni’ve never needed shelter when the thunder rolled<\/p>\n

so what do i know?<\/p>\n

i’ve never fired a gun
\ni’ve never even given up a nickel when had a dime
\nand if i suffered loss
\ni’ve only ever really cared about the loss of time<\/p>\n

i’ve never been to war
\nand i’ve only ever watched the protests on tv
\ni’ve never tilled a garden
\ni’ve never really seen the truth inside of me<\/p>\n

so what do i know?<\/p>\n

i’ve never been to mexico
\ni’ve never drunk the water from the river or the ground
\ni’ve never built a well
\ni’ve never held a baby right before the wailing of its very first sound<\/p>\n

i’ve never tilled a garden
\ni’ve never bent my back over a winter’s pile of wood
\ni’ve never tilled a garden
\nso how could i believe i’ve ever understood<\/p>\n
