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?
