Whatever I Want It To Be
Reminiscent of a Vince Guaraldi tune, this jazzy gem has a cheerful spirit that perfectly matches its message--the creative possibilities and benefits of a life dedicated to art. It features a challenging, satisfying melody, and a handful of key and meter changes to keep the chart fresh throughout. The second verse features a pair of soloists with the rest of the choir backing them up. It's perfect as an opener for a show having anything to do with the creative arts, or even as a novelty number using the descriptive lyrics to stage a number of unique visual scenes!

A dozen roses on a giant beanstalk Stretching further than my eyes allow me to see Rising up beyond the tallest mountain I can make it be whatever I want it to be A hidden castle in an underwater cave Sitting empty since the Yngling dynasty Filled with treasure from an ancient era I can make it be whatever I want it to be Put your pencil to paper and write from the heart See how quickly it flows if you're willing to start You can find you've created your own counterpart Nothing worth doing will ever come easy But that's the most beautiful part of a life in art A dozen rhythms that are layered perfectly Over harmony that's sung in different keys Meant to emulate the sound of the ocean I can make it be whatever I want it to be Sing a melody that sounds like a hummingbird Add a flourish that'll leave 'em beaming with glee Something different only I would think of I can make it be whatever I want it to be Put your pencil to paper and write from the heart See how quickly it flows if you're willing to start You can find you've created your own counterpart Nothing worth doing will ever come easy But that's the most beautiful part of a life in art Have you ever stopped to paint a rose? Beautiful art can come from anywhere View the world from a different point of view Take the smallest idea and build it from there Paint a picture of a flying purple gazelle Or an alien tribe fighting demons from hell It can be anything, 'cause there's no right or wrong Just put your pencil to paper and write from the heart See how quickly it flows if you're willing to start You can find you've created your own counterpart I can make it be whatever I want it to be Make it be whatever I want it to be Make it be whatever I want it to be!
