I Could Be

I'm not innocent, but I could be Who you know, what you know, where you go, how you flow Makes no difference to me Big bang boom, particles collide Stars explode and cells divide Mutations twist the codes that run Everything I know under all suns I look at you and know I see Someone who's stardust just like me Once you get to know me you might see me A bit like I see you Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see A slightly different point of view Once you get to know me you might see there Someone who sings and cries like you Once you get to know me you could laugh with me And together I'd walk in life with you I'm not dreaming, but I could be Who you know, what you know, where you go, how you flow Makes no difference to me There was an egg in my mom's womb And just by chance my loving dad Came with mom, chromosomes in hand Hunting for a meeting with its better half Well, stars explode, and cells confide And something grew out becoming me Once you get to know me you might see me A bit like I see you Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see A slightly different point of view Once you get to know me you might see there Someone who sings and cries like you Once you get to know me you could laugh with me And together I'd walk in life with you I know there's a root that grows there Who knows what kind of tree I know there's fruit becoming And when it's ripe we'll see I am oppressed and oppressor Where grows this kind of tree Budding in star directions Collapsing in mediocrity I know the end is coming I know the role of fear I know the universe keeps growing Until it doesn't and we're not here I know the roots are tangled The bough don't see the tree beneath Branching in all directions Reaching out for sunshine just like me I'm not from here, but I could be I'm not foreign, no one could be I am homo sapiens, I evolved to be I am homo sapiens, just like everybody My skin's not white but pink or brown Dark or light, it's just a gown Grown by sun, born by chance From place to place it's just a different dance My holy books, my myths, my race Stories in my genes, stories in my face And here I am singing with you Once you get to know me you might see me A bit like I see you Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see A slightly different point of view Once you get to know me you might see there Someone who sings and cries like you Once you get to know me you could laugh with me And together I'd walk in life with you Once you get to know me you are me And I am one with you Maybe when we look in others' eyes we'll see them Share our endless points of view Once you get to know us we are energy Singing our songs so we renew Once you get to know me you could laugh with me And together I'd walk in life with you Together I'd dream in life with you Together I'd be one with you
