Being Green

Who does not love Kermit? Who has not seen Kermit's video of this song? Go check it out, it's priceless!

I grew up with this song watching Sesame Street with my little sister. As a child it was cool, but as an adult the message is very profound. It's basically about accepting ourselves the way God created us whether we are short, blind, tall, balding or 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 nicer being red,
Or yellow, or gold
Or something much more colorful 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 color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or important like a river
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
