Bein' Green

It's not that easy bein' 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 bein' 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 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
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder, but why wonder, why wonder?
I'm green and that'll do just fine, and it's beautiful
And I think it's what I wanna be
