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 more      And 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 more      If 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 on      But 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 more      And 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 more      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 more
