The Optimist |
| Some people sleep away this life |
| Dream away all the pain and lie |
| Playing safe in a lullaby behind their fences |
| Some people like to roll the dice |
| Live the risk to lose the fight |
| Gambling with no alibis |
| And close their eyes to consequences |
| What’s up with those killing wars? |
| Hasn’t there been enough before? |
| Do all the dead get to paradise |
| Or will the afterlife just go under |
| And will the answers ever show… oh |
| How far to the top of the mountain |
| I’m standing strong on a ledge of the dream |
| Cloudbusting pushing weight off my shoulders |
| Cause I long to feel the sun again |
| Ooh… the optimist climbs my friend |
| Gonna rise till the end… ooh |
| Some people lay awake at night |
| Longing in the dead of light |
| Crying for the sacrifice and their long lost chances |
| Some people always raise their glass |
| Never worry if their life has gone astray |
| Cold indifferent eyes and false pretenses |
| See the boy on his bloody knees |
| Crying hard from the pain he bleeds |
| Maybe never gonna live to grow his senses |
| How can we save his heart with hope |
| I’m raining love from the core of my fountain |
| I let it run for the rainbow within |
| I’m dream catching in a world getting colder |
| Cause I’ve got to feel the sun my friend |
| Ooh… the optimist tries again |
| And never dies before the end |
| How far to the top of the mountain |
| Standing strong on the ledge of a dream |
| Cloudbusting pushing weight off my shoulders |
| Cause I long to see the sun again |
| The optimist climbs my friend |
| Gonna climb till the end |
