I could be loud man I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman or 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 won't believe in the music I'm singing
I could be rich like a wondering Gypsy
I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I could be the 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 or white sunset
As dark as a day boy or bright as a night
And I could be the sun boy or I could be the moon
I made it from the stars, boy, I'm shining so bright so I'm singing
I could be asleep or I could be awake
I could be alive man or be the walking dead
I could be ignorant or I could be informed, yes sir
I could lead my life man or I could be lead
I could be anything I put my mind to, boy
All I gotta do is give myself half a chance
I could bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I got some balance
