On God's green earth, the golden sun shines down On God's green earth, the fields are red and brown When the silver rain of springtime 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 they may be different Let them shine for all they're worth There's room for every color here on God's green earth So God made the night On God's green earth, the fields are red and brown On God's green earth, there's room for every color On God's green earth, from Birmingham to Johannesburg On God's green earth
