lyrics

The Optimist Awakes

My eyes lay too, heavy to rouse
Listening to that, beautiful morning sound
As I lay feeling, how warm the sunshine could be
As I lay feeling, how warm the sunshine could be

As open eyes give way, to the brightness of a brand new day
So peacefully I lay, listening to all creation play

As my thoughts lead me astray
My weary soul wonders what is really
The difference between
A good and a bad day

It’s such a curiosity when you take the time to stop and see
The difference between a good and a bad day
Between a triumph and a mistake
