God Bless the Grass Songtext
von Pete Seeger

God bless the grass that grows through the crack
They roll the concrete over it to 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 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
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that grows through cement
Green and it's tender, it′s easily bent
But after a while, it lifts up its head
For the grass is living and the stone is dead
And God bless 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
