Bein' Green (From "Sesame Street")

It's not that easy being green

Having to spend each day as a color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not that 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 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

When green is all there is to be

It could make you wonder why

But

Why wonder why

Wonder

I'm green and it'll do fine

It's beautiful and I think it's what I wanna be
