[CHORUS 1]
The [C]grasses grow [G7]tall 'til the hay it is [C]mown
Then the fields lie [G7]still till the new seed is [C]sown [C7]
Many children standing [F]here have watched the grass wave in the [C]wind
We're the ones who stand here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
[VERSE]
Long, long ago these [G7]fields and the crops that they grew [C]here
Might decide a family's [G7]fate for, say, another [C]year [C7]
Like the grasses that grow [F]tall and get cut down for the [C]hay
So generations moved in [G7]here, made their marks and moved a[C]way
[CHORUS 2]
And the fields lie [G7]still till the new seed is [C]sown
And the grasses grow [G7]tall till the hay is [C]mown [C7]
Many children standing [F]here have watched the grass wave in the [C]wind
We're the ones who stand here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
[VERSE]
After clearing off the [G7]land and piling up their long stone [C]walls
They walked miles for the [G7]seed, then they hoped the good rains [C]fall [C7]
And if the rains come down [F]right and all the crops grew tall and [C]strong
Families had enough to [G7]eat for another winter [C]long
[CHORUS 1]
The [C]grasses grow [G7]tall 'til the hay it is [C]mown
Then the fields lie [G7]still till the new seed is [C]sown [C7]
Many children standing [F]here have watched the grass wave in the [C]wind
We're the ones who stand here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
[VERSE]
Perhaps the time will come a[G7]gain when these fields will mean [C]more
And we'll learn to care for [G7]them as others did so long be[C]fore [C7]
And like the seed that's newly [F]sown and springs to life with sun and [C]rain
People's lives may grow to [G7]know the value of these fields a[C]gain
[CHORUS 2]
And the fields lie [G7]still till the new seed is [C]sown
And the grasses grow [G7]tall till the hay is [C]mown [C7]
Many children standing [F]here have watched the grass wave in the [C]wind
We're the ones who stand here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
We're the ones who live here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
The [C]grasses grow [G7]tall 'til the hay it is [C]mown
Then the fields lie [G7]still till the new seed is [C]sown [C7]
Many children standing [F]here have watched the grass wave in the [C]wind
We're the ones who stand here [G7]now, but many others will a[C]gain
