I can be loud, man, I can be silent
I can 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 can be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I don't believe in the noose

I could be rich like a wandering 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
I could be the sun man or I could be the moon
I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright so I'm singing

I could be asleep 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 lead
I can 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
