Lyrics:

God bless the grass that grows through 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 through,
God bless the grass.

God bless the truth that fights toward the sun!
They roll the lies over it and think that they have done.
But it moves through the ground and reaches for the air,
And after a while it's growing everywhere,
God bless the grass.

God bless the grass that breaks through cement!
It's green and it's tender and it's easily bent.
But after a while it raises up its head,
For the grass is living but the stone is dead,
God bless the grass.

God bless the grass—it's gentle and it's low,
Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow.
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor,
And the wild grass growing round the poor man's door,
God bless the grass.
God bless the grass.
