The Optimism

Oh, it's a common belief;
That the sun always shines if you want it to,
And theres power in the words you speak.
So if I say it right, it'll all be just fine.

I'll sit back and watch it all -
Sit back and watch it fall into place.

I'm gonna shut my eyes and let the optimism work things out for me.
I need to say out loud, some affirming words -
So I can be assured that I'll get where I want to be.

Oh, it's a common belief,
That the sun always shines if u want it to,
believe this, and you will feel complete.
Nothing else is required,
You just have to decide to,

Sit back and watch it all -
Sit back and watch it fall into place.

I'm gonna shut my eyes and let the optimism work things out for me.
I need to say out loud, some affirming words -
So I can be assured that I'll get where I want to be.

Call me naiive
But the optimism works for me.
Call me naiive.
Because that's exactly what I am.

I'm gonna shut my eyes and let the optimism work things out for me.
I need to say out loud, some affirming words -
So I can be assured that I'll get where I want to be.

Oh it's a common mistake to think;
That the sun always shines if you want it to.
I know because, I tried to relate
But the heat always made me restless.
