Green

Green.
A color of life
A color of hope
Leaves falling into green waves
A color that swiftly fades
A color of fear
Of hate, of doubt
A color that’s quickly running out
A color that saves
That heals and frees
Our sinking into black eternities
A color lost
A color found
A color that’s seen all around
A color of energy
Clean, pure and free
From the skies, land and sea
A color of power
A color of truth
A color supported by our youth
It’s more than a color
It’s an idea
A call for change
An end to the pain
A green solution
For our thought pollution
A color of future
A fix for the past
An idea that will always last
A color of need
A color of chance
That will carry us
Lift us
Out of this trance
A color to share
To know, to accept
A natural color that does not reject
A color with voice
A song of promise
A color so simple, yet so honest
It’s time that this color
Be taken to heart
Time to rise up
Unite and support
A green revolution
In a world turning dark
A single chance to light the spark
A green generation
No longer quiet
And soon the world will not deny it
A color that soon
Will alter the nation
And direct us towards a green destination.
