| OPTIMISM |
| Up and down for 30 years Lost some battles with my fears Proud to still be standing here And I've always been sincere Keep on trying to progress Forever giving it my best Adversity affects me less and less.... I'm gonna beat a brand new drum I'm gonna drop every old grudge Allow myself to have some fun And I'm gonna lighten up 'Cause if I don't like what I do I'll just change to something new Won't be afraid to make a move No, I'll never be boxed in Each day brings opportunity Take advantage of what's in front of me Use my mind and voice to be All that I know I can be Greeting strangers with a smile Going for that extra mile Not forgetting all the while Knowledge gained with every trial I wore that angry face for too damn long Being kind is a sign of being strong I won't let no one drag me down Sight set on my goals I'm gaining ground |
