“Grass Is Greener Than Money”

written by Joanne Shaw

 

VERSE:
When was the last time you drank from a stream?
Or breathed mountain air? Or climbed in a tree?
Set down your brief case. Loosen your tie.
Get away from your clocks and your concrete sky.

 

CHORUS:
Grass is greener than money;
And life more rich than your company.
Remember earth's beauty, before you destroy it.
I trust that you'll then understand.

 

VERSE:
With your car motor running, you can't hear the birds.
With your winged-tips on your feet, you can't feel the earth.
Your factory's burning; I can't smell a flower.
You can answer your planet, and still keep your power.

{CHORUS:}

BRIDGE:
If I could find a star through the thick city lights,
I'd wish that the fish had clear water,
That spiders were safe, and grass wasn't groomed,
And we'd all hug a tree every day.

{REPEAT CHORUS TWICE}
