What I Be (Alternative) |
| If I could be the sun |
| I’d radiate like Africa and |
| Smile upon the world |
| Intergalactic love laughter and |
| If I were the rains, I’d wash away the whole world’s pain and |
| Bring the gift of cool like ice cream trucks on sunny days and |
| If I was the earth I’d be like mountains bountiful |
| And if I were the sky so high, I’d be like wind invincible and |
| If I could be a seed, I would give birth to redwood trees and |
| If I were the trees, I’d generate the freshest air to breathe in |
| What I be, is what I be |
| What I be, is what I be |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Do you love someone? |
| Do you love somebody? |
| Love that one! |
| If I could be the leaves, then like jade I would stay evergreen and |
| Spread my limbs out wide and pull love so close to me and |
| If I could be the roots, I would dig deep like ancestry and |
| If I were the fruits, you’d make the sweetest cherry pie from me and |
| If I could be the night, my moon replace all electric lights and |
| Magic music would transmit from outer space on satellites |
| If I myself could be the ocean, you would feel the motion all the time and |
| If I were the words, then everything that everybody said would rhyme |
| What I be, is what I be |
| What I be, is what I be |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Do you love someone? |
| Do you love somebody? |
| Love that one! |
| If I could be sex my words would protect |
| I’d be in the lives of all who connect |
| What the heck, I’d make it so we all got selected |
| Pores would be dripping pure hot intellect and |
| The minds of the masses would all stay erect and |
| Then just for kicks, I’d mail out some checks |
| Addressed to those who sent their used latex in |
| Yes, that’s what I would do if I were sex |
| If I could be you, you could be me |
| I could be you, you could be me |
| I could walk a mile in your shoes… |
| And you could walk a mile in my bare feet |
| What I be, is what I be |
| What I be, is what I be |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Well, well, well, moving on! |
| Do you love someone? |
| Do you love somebody? |
| Love that one! |
