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
