Green Beans Everywhere

Mama said girl you gotta eat your green beans
Grow up big and strong
I said Mama I'm already strong and big
What planet are you livin' on
She said I live on earth and so do you
And not everybody here has enough food
So think about that for a minute or two

So I thought about that for quite some time
And it made me feel kinda blue
And I wanted to help so I snuck a green bean
Into the back of my shoe
And after dinner I went out to my yard
And I dug a hole, yes I dug really hard
And I put my bean in and covered it with dirt

'Cause I had a dream (dream)
That there'd be green (green)
Green beans everywhere
Growing in the dirt (dirt)
Reaching for the sun (sun)
Breathing in the air we share
And the rain would wander down
And water them
Alive

So I sprinkled some water on my bean
And sang it a little love song
And I told my bean a bedtime story
'Bout growing up big and strong
And I thought about how this wise old earth
Was lovin' my bean right there in the dirt
So it could feed the world some day

Then I said goodnight to the moon and my bean
And the stars and the dirt and the sky
I went up to bed laid down my head
And closed up my eyes

I had a dream (dream)
That there were green (green)
Green beans everywhere
Growing in the dirt (dirt)
Reaching for the sun (sun)
Drinking up the rain (rain)
Breathing in the air

And there were red (red)
Red cherries (orange)
Orange carrots (yellow, yellow, yellow)
And yellow pears
And there were green (green)
Green beans (blue)
Blue berries (purple)
Purple plums everywhere
There was enough food
For everyone to eat
Finally

Then all the children of the world
Held each other's hands
And we danced around the rainbow garden
Growing in our land
And we had a picnic under the stars
And we shared our food because it was ours
Now think about that for a minute or two

I had a dream
That there were green
Green beans everywhere
