Sherman the Frog:
Greetings, everyone! Sherman the Frog here, and today I want to talk to you about something very important: the color green. You see, while I'm yellow and red, my cousin Kermit is green. But today, I want to tell you about a different kind of green, the Green New Deal. Are you ready?
It's not that easy bein' green
Having to face each day with a vision
Of a future that's clean
When I think about the possibilities
Of a planet that's thriving, safe, and alive
It fills my heart with hope and pride
It's not easy bein' green
Some may mock and criticize
But the Green New Deal is a dream
To build a world that's sustainable and wise
To address the challenges we face
And leave a better Earth in our embrace
But green's the color of progress and change
A movement for a better tomorrow
From renewable energy to eco-friendly ways
The Green New Deal, it's a path we can follow
When green is the choice we make
It's a commitment to our planet's sake
To heal the Earth and protect its life
For generations yet to come, to thrive
Though skeptics may question and doubt
We'll rise above, we'll find a way out
Cause green is the color of innovation
Of jobs, of equality, and preservation
We'll build a future that's green and fair
With clean air to breathe and clean water to share
Cause green's the color of progress and change
A movement for a better tomorrow
From renewable energy to eco-friendly ways
The Green New Deal, it's a path we can follow
So from one advocate to another,
Let's give the Green New Deal a chance.
Together, we can make a difference,
And create a world where green will enhance.
Remember, it's not easy bein' green,
But with the Green New Deal, we'll succeed
In building a future that's sustainable and bright,
For every living being, what a beautiful sight!
