Bein’ Green

It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day
The color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Something much more colorful like that

It's not easy bein' green
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 a mountain
Or important like a river
Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
Could make you wonder why
But, why wonder? Why wonder?
I am green, and it'll do fine
I think it's what I want to be

When green is all there is to be
Could make you wonder why
But, why wonder? Why?
I am green, and it'll do fine
I am green
I am green, and it's beautiful
It's what I want to be
