So many shades of green

Lime, fern, shamrock, juniper and parakeet

Some bask in the island sun

While others sway in the cool shade of lazy clouds

They all climb

So many shades of green

They all climb

But they never reach the wide blue 

And the blue can never desecnd 

What is there to do?

Let it rain, let it rain

The sky goddess shed tears for the earth god

Grubby brown roots soak up the tears and green crowns grow

So many shades of green

They all climb 

And sing praises to the wide blue
