[Verse 1 : John Butler]
I can loud man, I can be silent
I can be young man, I can be old
I can be a gentleman, I can be violent
I can turn hot man or I can be cold
I can be just like the calm before the storm
'Fore waitin' on all "hell yea" to break loose
I can be innocent and I can be guilty
Doesn't mean that I won't believe in no noose
I'm singing!

[Chorus - John Butler Trio]
Heaven knows!
Heaven knows!
Heaven knows!

[Verse 2 : John Butler]
I can be rich like a wanderin' gypsy
I can be poor like a fat wallet lost
I can be first man and I can come last
It's not who breaks the ribbon boy
It's how you get across
I can be red, blue, black or white sunset
Darkest at day boy or brightest at night
I can be the sun boy, or I can be the moon
I made it from the stars 'fore I'm shining so bright
It's why I'm singing'!
[Chorus]
Heaven knows!
Heaven knows!

[Verse 3 : John Butler]
I can be asleep or I can be awake
I can be alive man or be the walking dead
I can be ignorant or I can be informed (Yessir!)
I can lead my life man, or I can be lead (That's right!)
I can be anything I put my mind to
Boy all I gotta do is give myself a half a chance
I can bring love back into my life
And share it with the world if I got some balance

[Chorus]
Heaven knows!
Heaven knows!
Heaven knows!
