You can be anythin' you want to be,
You have but to believe to be free,
But to believe to be free,
Only believe to be free;
You can do anythin' you wanna do,
If you only begin to be you,
Find it within to be you,
You better begin to be you.
You can be your kind of man,
And be all that you can,
And you'll see that it's easy,
To stand and be counted,
As one of the ones,
Who could open his arms,
And be born again.
Time is declining, the stairway behind you,
Is fallin' away as you go;
See how it crumbles and goes,
Disappearing below.
All that you have is a life and there maybe,
Another but no one can say;
Well, maybe it's really that way,
A billion in seventy-eight.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la;
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
Maybe it's harder than planned,
That we don't understand,
And we take it for granted at times;
Lordy, but come back again,
And I know where I been,
It'll be so grand.
You can be anythin' you want to be,
You have but to believe to be free,
But to believe to be free,
Only believe to be free;
You can do anythin' you wanna do,
If you only begin to be you,
Find it within to be you,
You better begin to be you.
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la;
La la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la.
