Anything

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 grey sillouhette

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 part's all gobbledegook
If you're not happy yet
Don't forget
It's just only 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 than local and federal government
Call your local congressman
Or congress woman

Yeah, you can let yourself
Let yourself do
Anything

You can go flying or soaring through space time
You could 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
Anything
Anything, anything, anything
Anything, anything, anything
Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything
Anything

Anything (anything that you want to be)
Anything (anything that you want to be)
Anything (anything that you want to be)
Oh oh oh oh ohhhh

You can let someone else tell you your story
It's no big if they disagree
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
You can let yourself
Let yourself be
If you just let yourself
Let yourself be
Anything
Anything
