How can something like this happen to me

A miracle, a disaster, all in one fell swoop

Cause nothing comes from nothing

Somebody turn the lights out.

They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

But so what.

Trees grow, the sun shines

I'm remembering simpler times

A baby, in my arms, has given me more joy

Than I could know.

Cause something came from nothing

And you changed my life.

They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

But so what.

I want friends around that don't feel lost

I want love for all that isn't at a cost

I wanna be a strong and not feel hopeless

But guess what.

But so what.

(They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

They said you can be whatever you want

But guess what)
