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 don't believe in no news.

So I?m singin'?

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 darkest at day boy, brightest at night.
I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon.
I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright.

So I?m singin'?

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 could bring love back into my life.
Share it with the world if I got some balance.
