Green and Blue

By Lori Moitié and RJ Johnson

Lyrics

(You know, one of the astronauts to land on the moon was a man named Edgar Mitchell. And when Edgar was coming back from the moon he looked down on our beautiful blue and green planet and became overwhelmed knowing that we must have harmony for all humanity…it’s the only path to peace so we must not hurt our green and blue earth and one day all people we’ll realize:)

 

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

‘Cause Mother Nature made you too.

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

Understand you’re the water and the land.

 

You ain’t black,

You ain’t white,

You ain’t yellow,

No you ain’t albino.

You ain’t red man,

You’re not tan,

You ain’t light skinned,

No you ain’t a-brown-O

 

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

‘Cause Mother Nature made you too.

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

Understand you’re the water and the land.

 

You ain’t American,

You ain’t Chinese

You ain’t African,

No you ain’t Mexican.

 

You ain’t French,

You ain’t Iraqi,

You ain’t Canadian,

No you ain’t Jamaican.

 

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

‘Cause Mother Nature made you too.

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

Understand you’re the water and the land.

 

‘Cause your world is my world (we’re one world)

We’re one world. We’re the nurse and the doc of this earth rock.

It’s up to me and you to keep it green and blue.

 

(Keep earth green and keep earth blue)

 

You ain’t your face,

You ain’t you race,

It don’t matter where you live on this place.

Just like your father,

Just like your mother,

You belong to the earth like every other.

 

Nature’s secret is out….HEAR WHAT I’M SAYIN’

You’re the sun and the moon…AND THE OCEAN PLAYIN’

Here’s a green tip…SO EASY TO FOLLOW

Reconnect to nature generations of tomorrow.

Reconnect, reconnect, generations. Reconnect, reconnect generations.

Reconnect to nature generations of tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It’s up to YOU, it’s up to ME, it’s up to WE to treat our planet better.

 

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

‘Cause Mother Nature made you too.

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

Understand you’re the water and the land.

 

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

‘Cause Mother Nature made you too.

You’re green and you’re blue (inside of you)

Understand you’re the water and the land.

 

You’re not your face, you’re not your race.

It doesn’t matter where you live on this place.

That’s why we’re singin’. Don’t claim just a country,

You’re more you’re our planet.
