God Bless the grass That grows through the crack They roll the concrete over it To try and keep it back The concrete gets tired Of what it has to do It breaks and it buckles And the grass grows through. God bless the grass |
That fights towards the sun They roll the lies over it And think that it is done It moves through the ground It reaches for the air And after a while It's growing everywhere. God bless the grass |
|
God bless the grass that grows through cement It's green and it's tender And easily bent But after a while It lifts up its head For the grass is living And the stone is dead. And God blessed the grass |
God bless the grass That's gentle and low The roots they are deep And the will is to grow And God bless the Truth The friend of the poor And the wild grass growing At the poor man's door. God bless the grass |
