Be As lyrics

Julie wants to get out of town, she needs to settle down

Move to a place where no one knows her

Lisa just had to get away, nothing could make her stay

Tired of living under cover

Everybody knows somebody trying to get free

Be as white as you want to

Be as black as you want to

Be as brown as you want to

Don't let anybody stop you

Be as straight as you want to

Be as gay as you want to

You can wait if you want to

We all need something to hold on to

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free

Have a little understanding and we will be

Daniel moved to another school alliances can be cruel

When you're alone without nobody

Michael begged Jen to take a stand and fight for the love they had

But she'd rather deal with being lonely

Everybody's got somebody telling them what to be

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free

Have a little understanding and we will be

Na, na, na, na, na, na

And if there is a way that you and I could both be free

Have a little understanding and we will be

Be as shy as you want to

Be as loud as you want to

Be as small as you want to

Don't let anybody stop you

Be as thin as you want to

Be as fat as you want to

Be as short as you want to

We all need someone to hold on to
