Optimist Lyrics

Chorus:

Life is wonderful.

Life goes full circle.

Life is wondeful.

Verse:1

Sometimes I hate everyone and everything -

To the world itself

Even though I'm the portrait of health

And been blessed with many things

Cause when it seems life's beginning to take

A splendid lead

Suddenly, everything tends to lean negatively

I used to feel my luck was bled from me at seventeen

Because ever since positive outcomes have been

Seldom seen

They tell me that bouts with doubt can self-fulfill

Prophetically

And that's prolly why John & Paul said that

It's best to let it be

And I use to be the cat with plenty kinetic energy

Happy go lucky, Mr. Follow-Your-Dream-And-Set-It-Free

But over the years, son,

I've been jaded to the Nth degree

I hate it, cause my sense of grief

Is blatant and my friends agree

See, people's selfish deeds lead to my

Bleak expectancy (Like) If I catch the E,

I never expect to see an empty seat

(Nice) But in typical fashion, this'll pass

Until my next defeat

Until I'm stressing deep and forced to beg and plea

Till then we'll sing.

Chorus:

Life is wonderful.

Life goes full circle.

Life is wondeful.

Verse:2

They say I'm a natural born pessamist

And that's fuckin wild

Must've come with my mother's smile

And father's bullheadedness

I pull ahead and get pulled back,

But I keep struggling

Son, I feel like I couldn't catch a break beat juggling

Still I reach upward and on,

And proceed trudging along

As I lead these brothers in arms,

To achieve what's in our hearts

But the scene's shrugging us off,

So...

I just remember that every dream comes with a scar

When I see something I want

When it seems nothing is wrong, well -

I gotta keep telling myself to stop

Waiting for the other foot to drop

Live in the moment, sit on the throne

And just take a look from the top

It's a whole other perspective to see

The good that you got

Now, if it's an omen, quit with the moaning!

Don't let it push you to flop

That's like being spooked at the doc since

You was a baby, still shook from the shot

Don't imagine a tragic end to the book,

When there's not

You gotta try to rewrite inspite of how crooked the plot.

Life goes full circle.

Life is wondeful.

Verse:3

Now, when you go this long uphill,

You lose the will to climb it

So, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining

In a world this wrong, gotta carry

A sword that's strong

And slice 'em all with smiles,

Y'all -- I fight 'em as I kill with kindness

Nobody wants a Bitter Benny

Or a Debbie Downer

Or a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them

Keep a sunny disposition -- Breathe Out

Cause life has a way of stripping the paint

Off of your dream house. It's simple.

Indeed these things seem to be easy to see

But they easily flee your mind

As you find repeated deceit

Now, there's reasons the weak

Of will never dream or believe

Before they leap, they concede

To defeat and agree to retreat

Now, when fatigue has really got you

By the balls/ Remember that if you really didn't believe

You'd succeed, then you wouldn't have tried at all

So, jump regardless of the consequence

Cause even on the night of the apocalypse,

Everybody's an optimist.

Chorus:

Life is wonderful.

Life goes full circle.

Life is wondeful. X2

Bridge

No matter how hard it seems.

There's always someone in another position.

So, when it rains, just hold on.

When it's gray, just hold on.

When there's pain, just hold on.

When it rains.

And when it rains, think dry skies.

When it's gray, think bright lights.

When there's pain, just smile, smile.

When it rains.

Verse:4

I know it seems everyday is a struggle

To keep yourself outta trouble

This modern jungle is jumbled with muddled puzzles to stump you

And snipers gunning to stumble you,

Like you've been hunted

Dude, how the hell are you telling us

'Life is wonderful'?

Some of you have come to

Conclusions/assumptions, But nothing as true or stunning

That misery becomes something that's comfortable

Trumping the will to shun it.

Run from it if you're stuck in a rut or two

So, I figured I'd drum up something

I could hum to you. (Like this).

When it rains, just hold on.

When it's gray, just hold on.

When there's pain, just hold on.

When it rains.

And when it rains, think dry skies.

When it's gray, think bright lights.

When there's pain, just smile, smile.

When it rains.
