WANT IT TO BE
(words and music by Randall Belt and Brian Kious)

Asked a stranger what he wanted to be
When he was young and still green timber
He said he wanted a hundred million things
When he’d sung a line he remembered.

Well I was listening in
On his dream that had been
It was the end of September
I remember…

CHORUS:
It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
It’s something you’ve never seen I’m saying
It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
It’s something you’ve never seen I’m saying

Asked a lady what she thought she could be
as a child with imagination
She said she never really thought it through
Was beguiled - with lack of creation

Well I could see that her mind
Was racing all of the time
I think she needed some ventilation 
So I told her…

It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
It’s something you’ve never seen I’m saying
It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
Something you’ve never seen I’m saying
I'll say to you...

What do you want it to be
what do you want it to be now
Is what you want it to be
What you want it to be

I was listening in on his dream that had been
It was the end of September
I remember...

It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
It’s something you’ve never seen I’m saying
It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
Something you’ve never seen I’m saying 
It’s what you want it to be, It’s what you want it to be
Something you’ve never seen I’m saying

I'll say to you
I give to you
