Zebra
The John Butler Trio Lyrics

I could be loud man, I could be silent
I have the ability to speak loudly or remain quiet, depending on the situation.

I could be young man or I could be old
My age is not a defining factor of who I am.

I could be a gentleman, I could be violent
I have the capacity to be respectful or aggressive towards others.

I could turn hot man or I could be cold
My emotions can vary from passionate to indifferent.

I could be just like the calm before the storm boy, Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose
I can be patient and wait for chaos to ensue, knowing it's inevitable.

I could be innocent or I could be guilty
I am capable of both good and bad behavior.

Doesn't mean that I don't believe in no noose
My actions do not necessarily reflect a lack of belief in consequences or accountability.

I could be rich like a wandering Gypsy
My financial status does not define who I am.

I could be poor like a fat wallet lost
I do not need wealth to be happy or successful.

I could be first man or I could come last
My place in society does not dictate my worth as a person.

It's not who breaks the ribbon boy it's how you get across
The journey is more important than the destination.

I could be red blue black and white sunset
My appearance and identity are not fixed or limited to one thing.

Or darkest at day boy or brightest at night
I have the potential for both darkness and light within me.

I could be the sun boy I could be the moon
I am capable of embodying both warmth and coolness.

I'm made up from the stars boy I'm shining so bright
I am made of cosmic energy and radiate positivity.

I could be asleep boy or I could be awake
My awareness and consciousness can fluctuate.

I could be alive and I be the walking dead
I can feel alive or drained of energy and vitality.

I could be ignorant or I could be informed
I have the ability to be aware and knowledgeable or unaware and uninformed.

I could lead my life man or I could be led
I can choose to take control of my life or let others dictate it.

I could be anything I put my mind to boy
I have the potential to achieve anything I set my mind to.

All I gotta do is give myself half a chance
All I need to do is believe in myself and take the opportunity to succeed.

I can bring love back into my life
I can seek out love and positivity in my life.

And share it with the world if I got some balance
If I achieve a state of balance and stability, I can positively impact others by sharing my love and positivity.
