Someplace Green Lyrics - Oak Ridge Boys

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
