Author's notes: While, "It's Not Easy Being Green", is superficially about a frog, you can go deeper and have it be about anyone. And that's the purpose of this song fic. You can pick the character who it's about.

It's not that easy being green

I'm different from everyone else in the band. I don't look the same, or feel the same. Some call it individuality, but it doesn't feel right here.

Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

I blend in. I know it. Everyone else seems to stick out. It doesn't seem fair.

When I think it could be nicer being red or yellow or gold

I want to change, I really do. It's my parents that don't want me to. Apparently, I'll fit in eventually.

Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green

Why I have to be the different one is what I don't get. Why aren't I one of the normal kids?

It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

I'm the kid the adults always seem to forget that I'm there. Even if I do make noise. I just seem to vanish.

And people tend to pass you over, 'cause you're

Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

Yeah, I have my talents. But every time I get something that would make me stand out, someone has something better, and I get thrown back to invisibility status.

But green's the color of spring

Being different has its advantages I suppose.

And green can be cool, and friendly-like

Looking like everyone else is pretty boring.

And green can be big, like an ocean, or important

Like a mountain—or tall like a tree

And if we need an idea that's outside of the box, they come to me, and I'm the one that saved the day. That part's pretty cool.

When green is all there is to be

And it's not like I've found an alternative.

It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why wonder

I am green

I am different from everyone else in the band.

And it'll do fine.

Now that I think about it, it has a nice ring to it. The Different One.

It's beautiful

I'll stick with being different. For now at least. I think I can learn to like it.

And I think it's what I want to be

That's it. Let me know what you think, and who you thought of when reading it.
