An Ode to Victoria and Premier Daniel Andrews
I am Garden (ing), hear me roar
In seedlings too good to ignore
And I know too much to go back and pretend
‘Cause I’ve seen it all before
We need to be selling more and more
No one’s ever gonna stop my sales again

Oh yes we are wise
with lockdown wisdom pain
We’re still paying the price
And how much haven’t we gained
But if we have to, we can do anything
We are strong (strong)
We are invincible (invincible)
We are Garden

You can bend but never break me
Though you sometimes have to stake me
More determined to continue all my toil
And I shoot up ever stronger
Not a seedling any longer
‘Cause’ you’ve deepened the conviction in my soil
Read more….

Oh yes we are wise
with lockdown wisdom pain
We’re still paying the price
And how much haven’t we gained
But if we have to, we can do anything
We are strong (strong)
We are invincible (invincible)
We are Garden

I am Garden watch me grow
See me standing veg to ‘mato
As I spread my lovin’ leaves across the land
But I’m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make Dan Andrews understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
And how much haven’t we gained
But if we have to, we can do anything
We are strong (strong)
We are invincible (invincible)
We are Garden
