Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's not that easy being green

Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

[Verse 2]

It's not that easy being 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 the stars in the sky

[Verse 3]

But green is the color of Spring

And green can be so cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like a mountain

Or important like a river

Or tall like a tree, like a tree, like a tree

[Verse 4]

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?

I am green and I'll do fine, and it's beautiful

And I think it's what I want to be

[Verse 5]

Green is the color of Spring

And green can be so cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like a mountain

Or important like a river

Or tall like a tree, yeah

[Verse 6]

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?

Why wonder?

I am green and it'll do fine, and it's beautiful

And it's what I want to be
