Bein' Green

It's not that easy been' green

Having to spend each day

The color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer bein' red

Or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not that easy been' green

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over

'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of spring

And green can be cool and friendly like

And green can be big like an ocean

Or important like a mountain

Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder, wonder why, wonder why, wonder

I'm green

And it'll do fine

And it's beautiful

And I think it's what I wanna be
