Wide-Eyed Optimist

Every time we speak it all seems so bleak, we get cynical

And now you can’t blame me

If I want to see the glass half full

It’s got to get better than this

Life takes hold of you, beats you black and blue

Next day, same old thing

No hope for tomorrow, we already know what it’s going to bring

But we’re still here

Stumbling from day to day laden down with fear

So I say to you

Repeat it until I’m convinced it’s true

It’s got to get better than this

Cos I’m a wide-eyed optimist
