Optimist
Tonedeff

Verse:1nSometimes I hate everyone and everything – to the world itself/nEven though I’m the portrait of health and been blessed with many things/nCause when it seems life’s beginning to take a splendid lead/nSuddenly, everything tends to lean negatively/nI used to feel my luck was bled from me at seventeen/nBecause ever since positive outcomes have been seldom seen/nThey tell me that bouts with doubt can self-fulfill prophetically/nAnd that’s prolly why John & Paul said that it’s best to let it be/nAnd I use to be the cat with plenty kinetic energy/nHappy go lucky, Mr. Follow-Your-Dream-And-Set-It-Free/nBut over the years, son, I’ve been jaded to the Nth degree/nI hate it, cause my sense of grief is blatant and my friends agree/nSee, people’s selfish deeds lead to my bleak expectancyn(Like) If I catch the E, I never expect to see an empty seat/n(Nice) But in typical fashion, this’ll pass until my next defeat/nUntil I’m stressing deep and forced to beg and plea – till then we’ll sing.nnChorus:nLife is wonderful.nLife goes full circle.nLife is wondeful.nnVerse:2nThey say I’m a natural born pessamist – and that’s fuckin wild/nMust’ve come with my mother’s smile and father’s bullheadedness/nI pull ahead and get pulled back, but I keep struggling/nSon, I feel like I couldn’t catch a break beat juggling/nStill I reach upward and on, and proceed trudging along/nAs I lead these brothers in arms, to achieve what’s in our hearts/nBut the scene’s shrugging us off, so…nI just remember that every dream comes with a scar when I see something I want/nWhen it seems nothing is wrong, well – I gotta keep telling myself to stop/nWaiting for the other foot to drop/nLive in the moment, sit on the throne and just take a look from the top/nIt’s a whole other perspective to see the good that you got/nNow, if it’s an omen, quit with the moaning! Don’t let it push you to flop/nThat’s like being spooked at the doc since you was a baby, still shook from the shot/nDon’t imagine a tragic end to the book, when there’s not/nYou gotta try to rewrite inspite of how crooked the plot.nnVerse:3nNow, when you go this long uphill, you lose the will to climb it/nSo, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining/nIn a world this wrong, gotta carry a sword that’s strong/nAnd slice ‘em all with smiles, y’all – I fight ‘em as I kill with kindness/nNobody wants a Bitter Benny or a Debbie Downer/nOr a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them/nKeep a sunny disposition – Breathe Out/nCause life has a way of stripping the paint off of your dream house. It’s simple./nIndeed these things seem to be easy to see/nBut they easily flee your mind as you find repeated deceit/nNow, there’s reasons the weak of will never dream or believe/nBefore they leap, they concede to defeat and agree to retreat/nNow, when fatigue has really got you by the balls/nRemember that if you really didn’t believe you’d succeed, then you wouldn’t have tried at all/nSo, jump regardless of the consequence/nCause even on the night of the apocalypse, everybody’s an optimist.nnBridgenNo matter how hard it seems.nThere’s always someone in another position.nnSo, when it rains, just hold on.nWhen it’s gray, just hold on.nWhen there’s pain, just hold on.nWhen it rains.nnAnd when it rains, think dry skies.nWhen it’s gray, think bright lights.nWhen there’s pain, just smile, smile.nWhen it rains.nnVerse:4nI know it seems everyday is a struggle to keep yourself outta trouble/nThis modern jungle is jumbled with muddled puzzles to stump you/nAnd snipers gunning to stumble you, like you’ve been hunted/nDude, how the hell are you telling us ‘Life is wonderful’?/nSome of you have come to conclusions/assumptions, But nothing as true or stunning/nThat misery becomes something that’s comfortable/nTrumping the will to shun it. Run from it if you’re stuck in a rut or two/nSo, I figured I’d drum up something I could hum to you.n(Like this).
