I was on a hill one day
Watching all the winter grey
There I met the strangest man,
He said, "Call me a fool that's what I am; 
But I've got magic I can bring
The flowers back make the birds all sing; yes
I'll bring the light back to the land; 
I'm the Green Man... the Green Man."

I said, "Where've you been my friend,
The greyness never seems to end;
The winter's been so long and cold, 
I feel I'm getting ever old". 
He said "I've been sleeping beneath the snow
Gaining strengh while the winds did blow
So I can bring light to your land 
I'm the Green Man... the Green Man."

	Green Man
	Bring the color back to the land
	Green Man
	You're the Green Man
	The Green Man

Can you see the Green Man, rising from his winter sleep?
Well, I can see the Green Man awakening, awakening.

Just then he smiled and he turned around
Wonders lay before me on the ground, 
All the land had seemed to change
All the colors rearranged
He said, "All this color doesn't mean a thing
Unless there's a winter before a spring
Take a good look at your land
I'm the Green Man... the Green Man".
