When the green shoots spring up on the hillside,

Then you know that new life is on the way

When the buds begin to sprout and the leaves are bursting out

Nature's pushing through and it's here to stay

When you're walking through the fields and forests, keep this in mind.

There's one fantastic colour that you'll always find.

Green is life, life is green.

I'm in every four-leaf clover

And every runner-been

I'm in every living plant you've ever seen

Green is life

Life is green

Have you seen your family little frog? Don't worry, we'll keep looking.

When you find a lizard on a boulder, or a stick insect hiding in the trees, a gecko up the wall

You'll find green as in them all

I'm in lots of little living things like these

When you're swinging through the canopy

Or down on the ground

There's one important colour you'll see all around green is life life is green

I'm in every four-leaf clover and every runner bean I'm in every living plant you've ever seen.

Green is life. Life is green.

I'm in green apples and green peppers and green peas.
