Be As Lyrics

Be As lyrics

Julie wants to get out of town 
She needs to settle down 
Move to a place where no one knows her 
Lisa just had to get away 
Nothing could make her stay 
Tired of living under cover 

Everybody knows somebody trying to get free 

Be as white as you want to 
Be as black as you want to 
Be as brown as you want to 
Don't let anybody stop you 

Be as straight as you want to 
Be as gay as you want to 
You can wait if you want to 
We all need something to hold on to 

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free 
Have a little understanding and we will be 

Daniel moved to another school 
Alliances can be cruel 
When you're alone without nobody 

Michael begged Jen to take a stand 
And fight for the love they had 
But she'd rather deal with being lonely 

Everybody's got somebody telling them what to be 

[Chorus]

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free 
Have a little understanding and we will be 

Na na na na na na... 
And if there is a way that you and I could both be free 
Have a little understanding and we will be 

[Chorus]

Be as shy as you want to 
Be as loud as you want to 
Be as small as you want to 
Don't let anybody stop you 

Be as thin as you want to 
Be as fat as you want to 
Be as short as you want to 
We all need someone to hold on to
