The Optimist
Once the picture was so clear
When all attention was a waste of time
From open mouths all I could hear
Was a group of words that didn't rhyme
Then I changed my point of view
I came to realise what one sometimes said
Didn't have very much to do
With what was in one's heart and in one's head
I was lost in the crack between the young one and the old
And I found there was no escaping truth when it's been told
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide the truth
So I found my humble price
For answers I would seek and sometimes find
How could I claim to be so wise
Without the visions of the younger mind
I was lost in the crack between the young one and the old
And I found there was no escaping truth when it's been told
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide the truth
Behind a mask to hide the truth
When all attention was a waste of time
From open mouths all I could hear
Was a group of words that didn't rhyme
Then I changed my point of view
I came to realise what one sometimes said
Didn't have very much to do
With what was in one's heart and in one's head
I was lost in the crack between the young one and the old
And I found there was no escaping truth when it's been told
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide the truth
So I found my humble price
For answers I would seek and sometimes find
How could I claim to be so wise
Without the visions of the younger mind
I was lost in the crack between the young one and the old
And I found there was no escaping truth when it's been told
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide
I turned my head from what appeared to be lies
I had opened up my eyes for treasures I didn't know
Don't turn your heads for all can see when we try
Thought's are bright and riddled while sitting next to you
Behind a mask to hide the truth
Behind a mask to hide the truth
