The Optimist

Lyrics

Baby- You're older now You think you see the limits that you're working to You have confined yourself like a foot in an unfitting shoe 'Oh I'll never get into that' you say You are now the defeatist A sense of tragedy follows you around your room A part of every man who wallows in that kind of doom 'Oh I'll never get out of this' you say You are still the defeatist It's time to roll away the stone and find behind A thriving optimist Time to roll away the stone and find behind A thriving optimistic Optimist A doctor- you need a doctor Doctor Optimistic Prone to make a mistake or two But when he makes that mistake At least he does it with style- Ooh Wouldn't it be magical if no-one stood in your way Ooh- elated at the prospect of a new day 'Oh I'll never get used to this' you say You're the underachiever But it's time to roll away the stone and find behind A thriving optimist Time to roll away the stone and find behind A thriving optimistic Optimist A doctor- you need a doctor Doctor Optimistic Prone to make a mistake or two But when he makes that mistake At least he does it with style- Ooh Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future Singing baby! We're laughing our way to the future Singing baby! We're laughing our way- yeah Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic- Optimistic
