God Bless the Grass

Words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1964 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1992.
She wrote it after reading Mark Lane’s comments about the John F. Kennedy assassination.

God bless the grass that grows thru 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 thru,
And God bless the grass.
