I love this song as it is how I think about our students, their potential and how we might influence them to develop the skills and attitudes that will help them become successful people. Besides that, it's kinda funky ........ I can be loud man, I can be silent. I could be young man or I could be old. I can be a gentleman or I can be violent. I could turn hot yeah 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 could be innocent or I could be guilty. Doesn't mean that I don't believe in the news. So I'm singin' ....la da da di da budom budom la da da di di bi boa bi boa {repeat} 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 darkest at day boy, brightest at night. I could be the sun boy or 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 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 led. (That's right) I can be anything I put my mind to boy, All I gotta do is give myself a half a chance. I could bring love back into my life. Share it with the world if I got some balance.
