The leaves of grass will not pass on
Though the millstones grind them into dust
For the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once moreAnd the brave must fall to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once moreIf people could look into each other's eyes
What a wonderful place this world would be
All strife would end, we could start again
And dreams like these must not pass onBut the brave keep falling to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once moreAnd the brave keep falling to honor the names
Of the ones who have gone before
And the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once moreThe leaves of grass will not pass on
Though the millstones grind them into dust
For the earth shall give new life to them
But only the grass will grow once more
