The Greatest Generation
If you've been wondering
Just what has made us grow
A generation unsolved
My father's father
May God rest his soul
He told me something you should know
You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
They dug and shaped the earth
And with their hands gave birth
To all the modern wonders that you see
They worked from dawn till dusk
They did it all for us
If we take one thing from them it should be
You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
I am forever grateful
I am the man I am today
I am forever grateful
For your hand in making me this way
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
Just what has made us grow
A generation unsolved
My father's father
May God rest his soul
He told me something you should know
You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
They dug and shaped the earth
And with their hands gave birth
To all the modern wonders that you see
They worked from dawn till dusk
They did it all for us
If we take one thing from them it should be
You put your shoulder to the wheel
You put your nose to the grindstone
You work your fingers straight to the bone
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
I am forever grateful
I am the man I am today
I am forever grateful
For your hand in making me this way
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
I won't, won't let 'em leave us
A generation
I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Selfless, relentless
Don't let their memory fade away
No, I won't, won't let 'em leave us, don't leave us
Remember what made us great (Now's the time to)
Remember what made us great
