00:00This is Freddy, and he's my friend, but he's so shy, he only comes out at night time, he
00:10won't come out during the day.
00:12So I said to him, Freddy, come out and have a look at the autumn trees, they're so beautiful.
00:18And he said, no, no way.
00:22I said, Freddy, why don't you come out and have a look at the sunrise, so beautiful,
00:28those colors, red, yellow and gold.
00:32He said, no, no way.
00:36I said, Freddy, why not?
00:39Do you know what he said to me?
00:41Have you ever seen a green sunrise?
00:45It's not that easy being green, having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
00:58When I think it would be nicer being red or yellow or gold, something much more colorful
01:08like that.
01:14No, it's not easy being green.
01:19It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things, and people tend to pass you over
01:32because you're not standing out like flashy sparklers on the water or stars in the sky.
01:44But green is the color of spring, and green can be cool and friendly night, and green
02:00can be big like an ocean, and cotton like a mountain, a tongue like a tree.
02:13When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
02:30I'm green and divine.
02:34It's beautiful, and it's what I want to be.
02:41Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
02:57But green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain, a tongue like a tree.
03:10When green is all there is to be, it could make you wonder why, but why wonder, why wonder?
03:29Freddie, you're green, and it'll do fine. It's beautiful, and it's what I want you to be.
