Just Because I Can
If I came here to stay
With a seed to sow & lay
On the ground
Wait for sound
Hear the call and resound
I let it slip from my hand
Just because I can
Just because I can
Find a home
Find a friend
Find a role you can pretend
Get the cash
Make it match
From the outside to the in
I let it slip from my hand
Just because I can
Just because I can
*And this may be the only way
I can save me
Get down on my knees and pray
I am maybe
If you know what is right
By the heart that beats inside
Calm it’s pace and erase
Or decide to join the fight
Don’t let it slip from your hand
Just because you can
Just because you can
*
**Hold my tongue
Or tell the take
Wise up lady
Oh my soul
Don’t let me fail
Why am I maybe
Who wouldn’t want to be restless for awhile
I wanna try & stay in between the lines
Who couldn’t see what is righteous
What is vile
One is grace &
One’s denial
La- Dee- dah- dee- dah...
*
**
And pray ,,,
I’ll pray
(My innocence is going away)
(I’ll change, I’m startled sick, I’m wide awake)
(What’s right, why fight it, why fight)
Just because I can... (repeats)
