One way or another
A thousand times at grasshopper green
Sometime summer
I never went away from grasshopper green
One day or another
A thousand times at grasshopper green
Sometime summer
I never went away from grasshopper green

You scrunch it up
And then aim for the moon
But you never really know what
You'll be doin' soon
Until you're recollecting
Then you'll always know
Just what to do
Because it's all up to you
Before you crawl, walk tall, you might fall
Just get up, stand up, then go out and play
When you give, don't take
Or you'll sometimes wish you'd never been born at all

One way or another
A thousand times at grasshopper green
Sometime summer
I never went away from grasshopper green
One day or another
A thousand times at grasshopper green
Sometime summer
I never went away from grasshopper green

You send it up
To soar through the sky
But will that dream live on or die ?
You're never gonna know
Until you're recollecting
Until you're reconnecting
Until the answers stare right into your eyes
Before you crawl, walk tall, you might fall
Just get up, stand up, then go out and play
When you give, don't take
Or you'll sometimes wish you'd never been born at all

I'm like you
I want to see through it all
I'm like you
I hate to see people fall

Come away to
This place, it's for you
For you migh want to
Understand too

I'm just like you
Down through and through
Please come away
To grass-green today

Down at grass-green
Girls are all keen
No people mean
No dead men's shoe

Please take your time
I'll take mine too
No line is fine
So get up, stand up and fight before you fall
