"I love it!  Especially number 10, 'It's Not All About Me'." Finn, a young fan from Portlaoise, Ireland (pictured above)

"For a family who can't agree on what to listen to in the car, we all agree on listening to the G.R.E.E.N. CD.  And we all smile and sing along."  Nicole Dyrssen, Finn's mother, who also happens to be a speech-language pathologist

"Songs for Guiding G.R.E.E.N. Thoughts is not just for children, rather for the children in all of us." Vincent Southall​

Lyrics

Keep the Civil in CivilizationClick for a larger view.
Keep the Civil in Civilization

​Don’t let the Dark Ages come back,
don’t make us fall off the track, 
keep the civil in civilization.
Act up to high expectations
that we can learn to live together
in any kind of weather.
Yes, we can learn to act together
to make a better world. ​

And move forward, ever forward,
let’s move forward, let’s move ahead.
And move forward, ever forward,
let’s move forward, let’s move ahead.

Don’t get us pulled off the stage,
don’t start to spin in a rage,
keep the civil in civilization
And use our education
To help improve our relations.
Yes, we can learn to act together
To make a better world. 
 
And move forward, ever forward,
let’s move forward, let’s move ahead.
And move forward, ever forward,
let’s move forward, let’s move ahead,
let’s move ahead. 
I said, “Let’s move ahead!” 
I said, “Let’s move ahead!” 
I said, “Let’s move ahead!"  
Let's move forward……. Let's move forward…………

​What's Best for the Team
This life's real, it's not a video game
so what we do does matter.
And we have the power to make good choices in each and every scene.
Positive or negative consequence, our actions change the scene.
Positive or negative consequence, what's best for the Team?
What are the choices? I ask, what are the choices?
We get to choose what's best for the Team.
Positive or negative consequence, our actions change the scene.
Positive or negative consequence, what's best for the Team?
What's best for the Team?  Let's make the best choice for the Team!
Cuz this life's real!   This life's real.

Wake Up
​
Hey you, the sun is shining,
time to get up and do your thing
No use in lying, dreaming
new day is knockin’ waitin’ for you.
Come on baby, open your eyes
clock says its time to rise.
Give a kiss and step on the floor,
Grab your clothes and out the door.
 
Pick up that feeling, moving ahead.
Let it surround you,
you’ll be glad you moved beyond your bed.
   
Start to feel the wheels a-hummin’.
Time to hear the rhythm strummin’.
Learn your lessons from yesterday,
give them meaning as you go on your way
    
Don’t be worried if you make a mistake;
It’s only natural when you’re awake.
Try again and you’ll get it right.
You’ll deserve your sleep tonight.
       
Pick up that feeling, moving ahead.
Let it surround you,    
you’ll be glad you moved beyond your..
Pick up that feeling, moving ahead.
Let it surround you,
you’ll be glad you moved beyond your bed.

​It's Not All About Me
It's not all about me
it's also about you.
it's not all about me.
I need to care about you.
I need to listen to you.
It's not all about me
because we're here together
I try to know how you feel
to make things better for you.
It's good to care about you
to make things better for you.
