Discover the story of the song > Grass Is Green – The Tony Rich Project

The protagonist is in a city, looking for someone to help him through his struggles. He wants a leader who can teach him how to survive. He feels afraid of being alone and worries about what he might do to himself. He goes down to a river where he contemplates suicide or harming someone else, but he just needed money. He feels judged by others who don't understand him, and he talks about wanting food and satisfaction. He says that the grass is like a mirror, reflecting his fears and loneliness. He can't trust himself when he's going through hard times, and he has dreams of finding happiness like others have.
