Think of all the people in your life
Who have left impressions on you
The ones who never let you down
And those who were there each time you lost your way
And all through your lifetime
You remember the ones who really cared
'Cause they were always there
In the garden, where the flowers grow
In the garden, the future will unfold
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below
Thank God for the teachers of our children
So the garden can grow
Everybody knows
That a garden needs attention to succeed
Without a firm and guiding hand
The tender sprout is lost among the weeds
And all through your lifetime
You remember those who guided you along
Until your roots were firm and strong
In the garden, where the precious flowers grow
In the garden, a better future will unfold
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below
Thank God for the teachers of our children
So the garden can grow
Take time to say thank you
Let your teachers know you'll pass their gift along
So others may grow strong
In the garden, where the precious flowers grow
In the garden, tomorrow will unfold
Thank God for the rivers and the mountains
And the valleys down below
Thank God for the teachers of our children
So the garden can grow
So the garden can grow
So the garden can grow
