The Green Scene

Grass is green, they say it's true But green ain't just a simple hue Green's the colour, green's the life Green's the struggle, green's the strife Some folks green with envy's sting While others green up everything We green our planet, plant by plant But some just green their pockets, can't you understand? The grass is green on the other side That's what they say to green-eyed pride But green behind the ears, you'll find Is just as common in mankind Green lights flash, go ahead and grow Green energy, let that green flow But don't be green, all naive and new When green-backs talk, some values skew The grass is green, a verdant scene But green ideas are far between We need to green our thinking too Not just the lawns we trudge through So let's get green, in every way Green up our acts, don't delay 'Cause grass is green, and so should we In thought, indeed, in what we see The green movement's not just for show It's how we reap and how we sow So plant your feet on green, green grass And make this green world kick some grass! Remember, when we say the grass is green It's more than lawns that we should mean Green's the future, green's the now To green up life, we must learn how So let the grass be green, it's true But let us all be green-hearted too For in this world of greed and haste A green mindset is a thing to taste!
