Lyrics
Optimist
Got to be an optimist
Got to focus on the bliss
And not all the things we've missed
Got to be an optimist
In this world
Some people think that life is tough
They want and they want and never get enough
But, for me life's a great big gift
And when I think that way I can feel my spirits lift
I simply don't believe in the hype
About life being a drag, I'm just not that type
I'm happy just to be, just to exist
Life's a wonderful adventure when you're a optimist
Got to be an optimist
Got to focus on the bliss
And not all the things we've missed
Got to be an optimist
In this world
Some think I'm living in a fantasy
And that they're so much more realistic than me
They say my eyes are covered up with wool
'Cause I insist on always seeing the glass as half full
They're ready just in case the sky starts to fall
If you see nothing but restrictions, you'll run into a wall
Just think about those chemicals surging through our brains
It's a fact that negativity can drive you insane
Got to be an optimist
Got to focus on the bliss
And not all the things we've missed
Got to be an optimist
In this world
I try to focus on what I can create, and not on what I don't like
Or on the things that I hate
It's easy to forget the world's made of light
Because fear and it's shadows can obscure our sight
No feeling like a victim, no disaster ahead
Gonna enjoy the time I've got while I'm here instead
I want to love and be loved, a smile's hard to resist
And lets face it no one wants to kiss a pessimist
Got to be an optimist
Got to focus on the bliss
And not all the things we've missed
Got to be an optimist
Got to be an optimist
In this world (Got to be an optimist)
Got to be an optimist
Think of the first time we were kissed
Focus on our gratefulness
Though the road is full of twists
Got to focus on the bliss
Got to be an optimist
In this world
