"It Ain't Easy Being Green" lyrics

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

Lord, 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 is the color 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

Whoa, when green is all there is to be
Well, it could make you wonder why
But, uh, why wonder? Why wonder?
I'm green and it'll do fine 'cause it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

You know green is the color of spring
Yes, and green can be cool and friendly-like
Oh, green can be big like an ocean
Or important like a mountain, or tall like a tree

Yeah, when green is all there is to be
Well, it could make you wonder why
But, uh, why wonder? Why wonder?
I'm green and it'll do fine 'cause it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be
Yeah
