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 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 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 why

but why wonder why

wonder

I am green

And it'll do fine

it's beautiful

And I think it's

what I want to be
