bein' green - jim henson

it's not easy bein' green
having to spend each day the color of the leaves
when I think it could be nicer bein' red or yellow or gold
or something much more colorful like that

it's not easy bein' 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
on 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

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

Where did you find this? This is so touching....it says so much.
