Someplace Green Lyrics

Someplace Green lyrics

The good Lord made man, then he rested for a little while

Said look what
I've done, ain't he pretty, then he cracked a smile

I'll watch him grow,
I'll hear him talk, learn to love and fight

But when he's had his fill of
these I'll walk him through the night



To someplace green (someplace
green)

Someplace nice (someplace nice)

Someplace that I (ooh-ooh)
call paradise

Growin' greener in the rain

Waitin' there for man to
claim



The good Lord looked down on the earth one afternoon and
frowned

Said man ain't learned an awful lot since I carved him out of
ground

He's built a lot of steeples of clay and rocks and sand

But
he hasn't learned to get along with his fellow man



And someplace
green (someplace green)

Someplace nice (someplace nice)

Someplace
that I (ooh-ooh) call paradise

Is growin' greener in the rain

Waitin' there for man to claim



The good Lord's been around a
while, he'll turn a tee at least

And I guess he'll be around a while,
when time and tide have ceased

Lookin' down from somewhere, tryin' hard
to find

If man has earned his paradise the other side of time



And someplace green (someplace green)

Someplace nice (someplace
nice)

Someplace that he calls paradise

Is growin' greener in the
rain

Waitin' there for man to claim

Yes growin' green, green, green
in the rai-ai-ain

Waitin' there for man to claim
