Anything

(album: Ultimate Storytime - 2016)

Somewhere there's someone who wants you to be
How they want you to be
Their opinion
They'll paint you the colors that they want to see
And to them it's Monet
But to you it's a gray silhouette

So pick up a pencil, a stencil, a crayon
The picture is not finished yet

You can let someone else tell you your story
You can let someone else tell you what's true
Or you can set yourself free, climb the tallest highest tree
Or maybe sit back and take in the view
Yeah you can let yourself let yourself do anything

It's there in your hands like a paperback book
You just finished the most recent chapter
And maybe the first parts all gobbledygook
If you're not happy yet, don't forget it's just volume one
The story has only begun

You can let someone else tell you your story
You can let someone else tell you what's true
Or you can set yourself free, climb the tallest highest tree
Or maybe sit back and take in the view
Yeah you can let yourself let yourself do
Except for things the law says you can't do
Unless the law is unjust in which case definitely do
Take a more active role in local and federal government
Call your local Congressman
Or Congresswoman
Yeah you can let yourself let yourself do anything

You can go flying or soaring through space time
You can go sailing across the blue sea
You can write down some words
Maybe chill with some birds
Be true to yourself and set yourself free
If you just let yourself let yourself be
Anything

Anything [x7]
Anything that you want to be [x3]

You can let someone else tell you your story
It's no big if they disagree
Cause at the end of the day, it's their part in your play
And it's your name up on the marquee

You can let yourself let yourself be
What you can let yourself let yourself be
If you just let yourself let yourself be
Anything [x2]
