The Greatest Generation Lyrics
If you been wondering
Just what has made us grow
A generation hard as stone
My father's father, may God rest his soul
He taught me something you should knowYou put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the boneI won't, won't let 'em leave us, a generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless, don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave usRemember what made us great
Now's the time to
Remember what made us greatThey dug and shaped the earth,
And with their hands gave birth
To all the modern wonders that you see
They worked from dawn till dusk
They did it all for us
If we take one thing from them it should beYou put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the boneI won't, won't let 'em leave us, a generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless, don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave usI am forever grateful
I am the man I am today
I am forever grateful
For your hand in making me this way (don't leave us)Remember what made us great (now is the time to)
Remember what made us greatRemember what made us great (now is the time to)
Remember what made us greatI won't, won't let 'em leave us, a generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave usI won't, won't let 'em leave us, a generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless, don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave usRemember what made us great (now is the time to)
Remember what made us great
