Only good will grow Now and always Holy afterglow Never contained 

Call this place hallowed ground Nothing is forsaken now

Only good will grow 

Only light will shine

On this sacred garden Every season new life Death has long departed 

I?ll plant you a tree

Roots have wings

Your children will forever sing Only good will grow 

All the joy and the pain

Times they change

But the ties that will bind us remain Only good will grow 

But the ties that will bind us remain Only good will grow

Only good will grow
