The Way It Should Be Lyrics

You were tilling the soil and planting the seeds

You were making your garden, the way it should be

You had a vision for lining up rows of beans

Carrots and radish, and a space for me

You were making your garden, the way it should be

The way it should be

The way it should be

You were making your garden

The way it should be

The way it should be

When I was a kid, I didn't understand

That working in the garden could shape a man

I watched you pouring on water and pulling out weeds

You always seemed to know what that garden would need

You were making your garden, the way it should be

The way it should be

The way it should be

You were making your garden

The way it should be

The way it should be

Now that I'm older, I can finally see

The things you were planting when you planted those seeds

You were showing me how to be a man

When you were tending your garden. Now I understand

You were making your garden, and the garden was me

The way it should be

It was the way it should be

You were making your garden

The way it should be

The way it should be
