Subject: Lyr Add: GOD BLESS THE GRASS (Malvina Reynolds)
God Bless the Grass God bless the grass that grows through the crack. They roll the concrete over it and try to keep it back. The concrete gets tired of what it has to do it breaks and it buckles and the grass grows through And God bless the grass.
God bless the truth that fights for 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. And God bless the truth.
God bless the grass that breaks through cement It's green and it's tender, it's easily bent. But after a while, it lifts up it's head, For the grass is living and the stone is dead, And God bless the grass
