Gary Popovich - I Could Be Lyrics

I'm not innocent, but I could be
Who you know, what you know, where you go, how you flow
Makes no difference to me

Big bang boom, particles collide
Stars explode and cells divide
Mutations twist the codes that run
Everything I know under all suns
I look at you and know I see
Someone who's stardust just like me

Once you get to know me you might see me
A bit like I see you
Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see
A slightly different point of view
Once you get to know me you might see there
Someone who sings and cries like you
Once you get to know me you could laugh with me
And together I'd walk in life with you

I'm not dreaming, but I could be
Who you know, what you know, where you go, how you flow
Makes no difference to me

There was an egg in my mom's womb
And just by chance my loving dad
Came with mom, chromosomes in hand
Hunting for a meeting with its better half
Well, stars explode, and cells confide
And something grew out becoming me

Once you get to know me you might see me
A bit like I see you
Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see
A slightly different point of view
Once you get to know me you might see there
Someone who sings and cries like you
Once you get to know me you could laugh with me
And together I'd walk in life with you

I know there's a root that grows there
Who knows what kind of tree
I know there's fruit becoming
And when it's ripe we'll see

I am oppressed and oppressor
Where grows this kind of tree
Budding in star directions
Collapsing in mediocrity

I know the end is coming
I know the role of fear
I know the universe keeps growing
Until it doesn't and we're not here

I know the roots are tangled
The bough don't see the tree beneath
Branching in all directions
Reaching out for sunshine just like me

I'm not from here, but I could be
I'm not foreign, no one could be
I am homo sapiens, I evolved to be
I am homo sapiens, just like everybody

My skin's not white but pink or brown
Dark or light, it's just a gown
Grown by sun, born by chance
From place to place it's just a different dance
My holy books, my myths, my race
Stories in my genes, stories in my face
And here I am singing with you

Once you get to know me you might see me
A bit like I see you
Maybe when you look in my eyes you'll see
A slightly different point of view
Once you get to know me you might see there
Someone who sings and cries like you
Once you get to know me you could laugh with me
And together I'd walk in life with you

Once you get to know me you are me
And I am one with you
Maybe when we look in others' eyes we'll see them
Share our endless points of view
Once you get to know us we are energy
Singing our songs so we renew
Once you get to know me you could laugh with me
And together I'd walk in life with you
Together I'd dream in life with you
Together I'd be one with you
