if i could be the sun,
i'd radiate like africa
smile upon the world like
inter-galactic love.
If i could be the rain,
i'd wash away the whole world's pain,
bring the gift of coooool,
like ice cream trucks on sunny days.
if i could be the earth,
i'd be like the mountains bountiful
& if i was the sky so high
i'd be like wind
invincible.
if i could be the sea,
i'd give birth to redwood trees
& if i was the trees
i'd make the sweetest cherry pie for me.
what i'd be is what i'd be is what i'd be
if i could be the leaves,
like jade i would stay evergreen
& spread my arms out wide
& hold them ever so close to me.
if i could be the roots
i would dig deep like ancestry
& if i was the fruits
i'd make the sweetest cherry pie for me.
if i could be the night
my moon'd replace electric light
& magic music would transmit from outerspace
on satalite.
if myself could be the ocean
you would feel the motion
all the time
& if i were the words
everything everybody say would rhyme.
what i'd be is what i'd be is what i'd be is what i'd be.
