I could be loud man, I could be silent I could be young man or I could be old I could be a gentleman, I could be violent I could turn hot man or I could 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 noose 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 Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night I could be the sun boy 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 could be alive and I be the walking dead I could be ignorant or I could be informed I could lead my life man or I could be led I could be anything I put my mind to boy All I gotta do is give myself 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'
