Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can be loud, man, I can be silent

I could be young man or I could be old

I can be a gentleman or I can be violent

I could turn hot, man, or I can be cold

I could be just like the calm before the storm, boy

Waiting for all hell, yeah, to break loose

I could be innocent or I could be guilty

Doesn't mean that I will believe in no noose, so I'm singin'

[Verse 2]

I could be rich like a wandering gypsy

I could be poor like a fat wallet lost

I could be first, man, or I could come last

It's not who breaks the ribbon, boy, it's how you get across

I could be red, blue, black and white sunset

Or darkest at day, boy, or brightest at night

I could be the sun, boy, or I could be the moon

I'm made up from the stars, boy, I shining so bright, so I'm singin'

[Verse 3]

I could be asleep, boy, or I could be awake

I can be alive, man, or be the walking dead

I can be ignorant or I could be informed (Yes sir)

I could lead my life, man, or I could be led (That's right)

I can be anything I put my mind to, boy

All I gotta do is give myself a half a chance

I can bring love back into my life

And share it with the world if I got some balance, so I'm singin'
