Who Says You Can'T

Who says you can’t get stoned
Turn of the lights and fly out the window

Who says you can’t be free
Open your mind; let love be

Who says you can’t rock out
Close your eyes and sing out loud

Who says you can’t be friends
Open your hand; lend a hand

Who says you can’t get stoned
Plant a few seeds and get lost among the trees

Who says you can’t be free
Leave the corporate leash; be who you want to be

Who says childhood can come back
Get lost in wax crayons and cracker jacks

Who says a hart can’t brake
Look around at all this hate

Who says a rose doesn't smell
Take a deep breath and laugh out loud

Who says cowboys have to sing sad songs
Not all roses have thorns
