Zebra by John Butler Trio, The

i can be loud man, i can be silent
i could be young man, or i could be old
i can be a gentle man, i can be violent
i could turn hot man, or i can be cold
i could be just like the calm before the storm, waiting for all hell (yeah) to break loose
i could be innocent, or i could be guilty
doesnt mean i wont beleive in no noose

i could be rich like a wandering gypsy
i could be poor like a fat wallet lost
i could be first, or i could come last
its not who breaks the ribbon, its how you get across
i could be red, blue, black & white sunset darkest at day man, lightest at night
i could be the sun or i could be the moon im made up from the stars man, im shining so bright

i could be asleep man, or i can be awake
i can be alive man, or be the walking dead
i can be ignorant, or i can be informed
i could lead my life man, or i could be led
i can be anything i put my mind to boy
all i have to do is give my self half a chance
i could bring love back into my life, and share it with the world
if i got some balance...
