Best of All Possible Worlds

In the midst of all the madness that surrounds us
You might find yourself inclined to say
That it would be better if this whole world just ended
Then all the pain and the sorrow would just go away

You know, we could sit here and spend the entire evening
Just talking about the thorns that are in your side
But if you just stand in line not paying attention
You're bound to miss the thrill, the thrill of the ride

So let's put this gloom to an end
Let's close our eyes, lord, and try to pretend
That we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
Yeah, we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds

Well, in the long run, baby, everything has a reason
Today's bad luck could be tomorrow's prize
And if you can stay afloat on the sea of misfortune
There will come a wave that makes you glad that you're alive

So let's put this gloom to an end
Let's close our eyes, lord, and try to pretend
That we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
Yeah, we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds

Well, if our job in life is to cultivate our garden
Then we need to reap what's good from the seeds we've sown
'Cause if we spend our lives just worrying about the weeds
We'll never know what we might have really grown

So let's put this gloom to an end
Let's close our eyes, lord, and try to pretend
That we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
Yeah, we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
I said we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
Yeah, we're living tonight in the best of all possible worlds
