"I Can Be Anything"
por Divinity Roxx
English
VERSE 1
I want to be a teacher so I can teach kids
That they can be anything whatever it is
I want to be a pilot so I can fly high
Just spread your wings and reach for the sky
I want to be a vet and take care of pets
Me, see I like the internet, and I’ll bet
There’s so much more I can do if I believe in myself and just follow through
I believe in you, there’s nothing you can’t do, nothing you can’t see, nothing you can’t be, but nothing comes free, you gotta work hard, you gotta do your best and baby that’s the first start…
CHORUS
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything
VERSE 2
I want to be an astronaut, go up to space,
Look back at Earth and say I miss that place
I want to be a doctor so I can save lives
You can do anything just open your mind
I want to be an artist I love to draw
I love to paint
I want to play ball
The world is so big and there’s so much to do, so much to see
What can I be?
I want to emcee and move the crowd
Graduate from college and make my parents proud
I want to be a writer of a TV show
You can be that and, oh, so much more
I want to see my face in the magazines
I want to be famous, me I want to sing
Just follow your heart and follow your dreams, believe me when I say you can be anything!
CHORUS
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything
VERSE 3
Hey, it doesn’t matter who you are where you’re from
As long as you can dream, your dreams you will become
Anything you want, everything you do, strive to be the best at what you do
You can drive big trucks and make big bucks, you can write for newspapers
Don’t get stuck, just open your mind to what you want to be and, if you believe
Then you can achieve
Wake up every morning with a smile on your face, you’re the children of the Earth, you’re going to run this place
One day you’re going to grow up big and strong
I want to be President! So, run along
Dream big dreams and small ones too
Shoot for the stars and land on the moon
Listen to your parents and make yourself proud
And if you forget sing the song real loud…
CHORUS
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything
I can be anything
Who me?
Can be anything?
Yeah girls and boys can do anything, anything!
Anything Anything Anything Anything

VERSO 1
Quiero ser maestro para enseñar a los niños
para que puedan ser lo que sea.
Quiero ser piloto para poder volar alto
desplegar las alas y tocar el cielo.
Quiero ser veterinario para cuidar las mascotas.
A mí me gusta internet, y apuesto
a que hay mucho más que puedo hacer si creo en mí mismo y sigo hasta el final.
Yo creo en ti, no hay nada que no puedas hacer, nada que no puedas ver, nada que no puedas ser, pero nada llega por nada... tienes que esforzarte... tienes que dar lo mejor y ese es el comienzo...
CORO
Puedo ser lo que sea,
¿quién… yo?
¿Ser lo que sea?
¡Sí! Las chicas y los chicos pueden hacer lo que sea, ¡lo que sea!
Lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea
Puedo ser lo que sea,
¿quién… yo?
¿Ser lo que sea?
¡Sí! Las chicas y los chicos pueden hacer lo que sea, ¡lo que sea!
Lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea
VERSO 2
Quiero ser astronauta, para ir al espacio
contemplar la Tierra y decir: “Extraño ese lugar”.
Quiero ser doctor para salvar vidas.
Puedes hacer lo que sea, solo abre tu mente.
Quiero ser artista porque me encanta dibujar.
Me gusta pintar.
Quiero jugar a la pelota.
El mundo es tan grande, y hay tanto para hacer, tanto para ver.
¿Qué puedo ser?
Quiero ser presentador musical y movilizar a la multitud.
Graduarme de la universidad y enorgullecer a mis padres.
Quiero ser guionista de un show de TV.
Tú puedes ser eso y mucho más.
Quiero ver mi rostro en las revistas.
Quiero ser famoso, quiero cantar.
Solo sigue tu corazón y persigue tus sueños, ¡créeme cuando te digo que puedes ser lo que sea!
CORO
Puedo ser lo que sea,
¿quién… yo?
¿Ser lo que sea?
¡Sí! Las chicas y los chicos pueden hacer lo que sea, ¡lo que sea!
Lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea

VERSO 3
No importa quién eres ni de dónde vienes.
Siempre y cuando puedas soñar, tus sueños se harán realidad.
Lo que quieras, todo lo que hagas, esfuérzate por ser el mejor en lo que haces.
Puedes conducir grandes camiones y hacer grandes camiones, puedes escribir para periódicos.
No te quedes atascado, abre tu mente a lo que quieres ser, y si lo crees,
entonces podrás lograrlo.
Despierten todos los meses con una sonrisa en el rostro; son los niños de la Tierra, ustedes dirigirán este lugar.
Algún día crecerán y serán fuertes.
¡Quiero ser presidente! Entonces, ponte en carrera.
Sueña sueños importantes y pequeños también.
Apunta a las estrellas y aterriza en la Luna.
Escucha a tus padres y enorgullécete
y, si lo olvidas, canta la canción muy fuerte...
CORO
Puedo ser lo que sea,
¿quién… yo?
¿Ser lo que sea?
¡Sí! Las chicas y los chicos pueden hacer lo que sea, ¡lo que sea!
Lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea
Puedo ser lo que sea,
¿quién… yo?
¿Ser lo que sea?
¡Sí! Las chicas y los chicos pueden hacer lo que sea, ¡lo que sea!
Lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea, lo que sea

She is the current bass player in the Black Girls Rock Orchestra, which airs on BET, and is the touring bassist and Musical Director for the powerhouse singer and performer Fantasia.
