It's Not Easy Being Green
Cibelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 that's what I want to be

Two facts coexist: She is a tremendous talent. She is also a tremendous flake. But we have a soft spot for flakes.
