If I could be the sun
I'd radiate like Africa and
Smile upon the world
Intergalactic love laughter and
If I were the rains, I'd wash away the whole world's pain and
Bring the gift of cool like ice cream trucks on sunny days and
If I was the earth I'd be like mountains bountiful
And if I were the sky so high, I'd be like wind invincible and
if I could be a seed, I would give birth to redwood trees and
If I were the trees, I'd generate the freshest air to breathe in
(chorus)
What I be, is what I be
What I be, is what I be
Well, well, well, movin on!
Well, well, well, movin on!
Do you love someone? Do you love somebody?
Love that one!
If I could be the leaves, then like jade I would stay evergreen and
Spread my limbs out wide and pull love so close to me and
If I could be the roots, I would dig deep like ancestry and
If I were the fruits, you'd make the sweetest cherry pie from me and
If I could be the night, my moon replace all electric lights and
Magic music would transmit from outerspace on satellites
If I myself could be the ocean, you would feel the motion all the time and
If I were the words, then everything that everybody said would rhyme
(chorus)
What I be, is what I be
What I be, is what I be
Well, well, well, movin on!
Well, well, well, movin on!
Do you love someone? Do you love somebody?
Love that one!
If I could be sex my words would protect
I'd be in the lives of all who connect
What the heck, I'd make it so we all got selected
Pores would be dripping pure hot intellect and
The minds of the masses would all stay erect and
Then just for kicks, I'd mail out some checks
Addressed to those who sent their used latex in
Yes, that's what I would do if I were sex
If I could be you, you could be me
I could be you, you could be me
I could walk a mile in your shoes...
And you could walk a mile in my bare feet
(chorus)
What I be, is what I be
What I be, is what I be
Well, well, well, movin on!
Well, well, well, movin on!
Do you love someone? Do you love somebody?
Love that one!
I'd radiate like Africa and
Smile upon the world
Intergalactic love laughter and
If I were the rains, I'd wash away the whole world's pain and
Bring the gift of cool like ice cream trucks on sunny days and

If I were the trees, I'd generate the freshest air to breathe in

Well, well, well, movin on!
Well, well, well, movin on!

I'll have to check him & that group out. I'm not a big
fan of the genre but there are songs I really like, so I assume the more I hear, the more I'll find that I like.
Spearhead I like, so that helps this particular cut. I'm
always glad to hear new things (for me) on RP. Many of the comments like yours are helpful for building a community of friendly listeners. Thanks!
