It's about God but the insecticides line has opened more discussions about gardening ethics than anything else. Still, it's one long crescendo written in Aeolian mode and it's my mum's favourite song.
lyrics
I am the gardener
I put the plants in their soil
Water them every day
So soon I'll enjoy their fruit
I am the gardener
I keep the bugs off the flowers
Insecticides on the leaves
So they can hold their own
I am the gardener
I made a beautiful garden
Sometimes I like to sit
Admiring the things that grow
He is my gardener
He's working hard to sustain me
He gives to me every day
All that I need to survive
He is my gardener
And I bear fruit just to please him
I'm pleased to give to him
'Cause he gave my life to me
