when i was in grade school (1970s, minnesota) we had a morning song before classes and another at the end of the day.
the whole school sang.
this one, including these verses, was one of the songs. it was also a staple in a music program each year for one of the grades to do during a performance for the parents.
I just saw Gillian Welch and David Rawlings play. They performed a mashup of this song and I Hear Them All as one of their encores and only used those ^ verses. It was amazing.
They need to bring these verses back in the mainstream renditions of the song, but it’s obvious why they don’t.
Genius line. It says so much, so simply. God I wish I could write like this man
