Optimist
See the stranger's eyes go by
Listening to the laughs
Going inside the courtyard
Hovering around
The dead bodies lying down
Of those who are less fortunate than them
And now my limbs are paralyzed
Don't know how to stand up
I can't get off the ground
So I, I try to scream and shout
My voice is just a whisper
Singing through the night
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Hear the mother call her son
She won't be kissing him
Goodnight before bed
She hopes his siblings
Won't follow the same path
There's only so much a heart can take
That's why her limbs are paralyzed
Doesn't know how to stand up
She can't get off the ground
I hear, I hear the scream and shouts
Her voice is just a whisper
Crying through the night
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Now you use my name to pray
Like you cared in any way
I flew closer to the sun
Hoping I could be someone
No, you won't throw me away
Anymore, anymore
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
Listening to the laughs
Going inside the courtyard
Hovering around
The dead bodies lying down
Of those who are less fortunate than them
And now my limbs are paralyzed
Don't know how to stand up
I can't get off the ground
So I, I try to scream and shout
My voice is just a whisper
Singing through the night
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Hear the mother call her son
She won't be kissing him
Goodnight before bed
She hopes his siblings
Won't follow the same path
There's only so much a heart can take
That's why her limbs are paralyzed
Doesn't know how to stand up
She can't get off the ground
I hear, I hear the scream and shouts
Her voice is just a whisper
Crying through the night
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Now you use my name to pray
Like you cared in any way
I flew closer to the sun
Hoping I could be someone
No, you won't throw me away
Anymore, anymore
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
Shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
You can call me an optimist
When I close my eyes
And shut my mind
Kill the noise going outside
You can call me an optimist
