On God's Green Earth


On God's green earth
A golden sun shines down
On God's green earth
The fields are red and brown
The silver rain of spring time
Brings the miracle of birth
There's room for every color
Here on God's green earth

In God's blue sky
Sometimes the gray clouds blow
And storms may rise
From the land that lies below
When all the different colors
Forget each other's worth
They clash with one another
Here on God's green earth

So God made the night
Took away the light
Made the colors fade
Into a single shade
And God made the day
Took the night away
So we all could see
How it was meant to be

On God's green earth
On God's green earth
From Birmingham to Johannesburg
Though we may be different
Let us shine for all we're worth
There's room for every color
Here on God's green earth
There's room for every color
Here on God's green earth
