It's not that easy being green Having to spend each day the colour of the leaves When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold Or something much more colourful like that It's not that easy being green It seems to blend in with so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'Cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles on the water Or stars in the sky But green is the colour 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 But if green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder I'm green and it'll do fine And it's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be.
