Bein' Green

It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day
The color of the trees
When I think it could be so much easier
Being red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
Like that, like that

It's not that easy being green
It seems you blend in
With ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
Over, over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles on the water
The water, sparkles on the water, the water
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or stars in the sky
Stars in the sky
In the sky

Oh, but green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like that
Like that
And I know green can be big like the ocean
Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
Well, it could make you wonder why
But why wonder, why wonder, why wonder
I'm green and it'll do fine
Because it is beautiful and that's just what I wanna be
Real green, real green

Oh, green's the color of spring
And oh yes, green can be cool or friendly, just like me

Like the ocean, ocean, or tall like a tree
Planted by the river, bearing fruit, bearing fruit
Oh, and green is all there is to be

But why wonder, why wonder
(Why wonder, why wonder)
I'm green, and that's cool
Because I am beautiful and it's just what I wanna be
Real green
