《The Optimist》歌词

[00:00:06] Given the light, Give it some truth

[00:00:26] Given the maybe, Give it some proof

[00:00:30] This body is cleaner, I'm one to behold

[00:00:35] My truth was uncovered, Untainted and told

[00:00:40] I loathed the people I considered old

[00:00:45] Oh, the optimist

[00:00:55] Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead

[00:01:00] Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed

[00:01:04] As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong

[00:01:09] The notion that future events must go on

[00:01:14] No matter the turn out is right or is wrong

[00:01:23] They trusted you

[00:01:27] And all the things you often made them do, and now

[00:01:34] Everyone smilin'

[00:01:38] Telling me I've got to trust you to

[00:01:42] Do no wrong

[00:01:48] 'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now

[00:01:53] Everyone's cryin'

[00:01:58] Someone's telling them to just stop trying

[00:02:06] Given some truth, Call it a lie

[00:02:10] Given some action, Ask yourself why

[00:02:15] This body is slow, And it's seen its best days

[00:02:20] My truth is uncovered, My negative ways

[00:02:25] I'm one of the people I struggle to praise

[00:02:34] Oh, the pessimist

[00:02:40] Teach me to follow, But never to lead

[00:02:45] Teach me to stay down, And never succeed

[00:02:49] When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit

[00:02:54] The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit

[00:02:59] I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit

[00:03:07] They trusted you

[00:03:12] With all the things you often made them do, and now

[00:03:19] Everyone smillin'

[00:03:23] Telling me I've got to trust you to

[00:03:28] Do no wrong

[00:03:32] 'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now

[00:03:38] Everyone's smilin'

[00:03:43] Someone's telling them to just stop trying
