We Could Be Anything Lyrics

Flip over the box

Make crayon marks

Hastily draw out by hand

Windows and rockets

Old snacks in our pockets

Flying over unknown lands

Cry when we crash land

Hear the sirens blare

The wind in our hair

Our bikes have motors today

With crime on the rise

We'll catch the bad guys

And help keep our town safe

Plastic badges to keep them all safe

Before we were something

We could be anything

Before we were something

We could be anything

We'd walk on the moon

In my bedroom

Then swim to a submarine

Deliver mail on time

Perhaps a garbage truck ride

In our special make believe

Once grown, can we still believe

We could sneak into a pool

Maybe even skip school

For wrestling matches on the trampoline

We could be big stars

Or catch lightning bugs in jars

We could do anything

Find a treasure in everything

Before we were something

We could be anything

Before we were something

We could be anything

Drive from the backseat

Through the earth core's heat

A prehistoric construction site

Hop a west bound train

Full of bandits and flames

Firefighting outlaws along for the ride

Into danger, onward we ride

Before we were something

We could be anything

Before we were something

We could be anything

Somewhere our dreams

Are filed neatly beneath this cubicle seat

Listen close to the captured kid scream

Somewhere our dreams

Became captive to charts and screens

Does comfort reside in this routine

Can you hear the captured kid scream

Unclip his wings

Before we were something

We could be anything

Before we were something

We could be anything

Let the cooped-up kid sing
