Given the maybe, Give it some proof<br />
This body is cleaner, I'm one to behold<br />
My truth was uncovered, Untainted and told<br />
I loathed the people I considered old<br />
<br />
Oh, the optimist<br />
<br />
Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead<br />
Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed<br />
As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong<br />
The notion that future events must go on<br />
No matter the turn out is right or is wrong<br />
<br />
They trusted you<br />
And all the things you often made them do, and now<br />
Everyone smilin'<br />
Telling me I've got to trust you to<br />
Do no wrong<br />
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now<br />
Everyone's cryin'<br />
Someone's telling them to just stop trying<br />
<br />
Given some truth, Call it a lie<br />
Given some action, Ask yourself why<br />
This body is slow, And it's seen its best days<br />
My truth is uncovered, My negative ways<br />
I'm one of the people I struggle to praise<br />
<br />
Oh, the pessimist<br />
<br />
Teach me to follow, But never to lead<br />
Teach me to stay down, And never succeed<br />
When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit<br />
The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit<br />
I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit<br />
<br />
They trusted you<br />
With all the things you often made them do, and now<br />
Everyone smillin'<br />
Telling me I've got to trust you to<br />
Do no wrong<br />
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now<br />
Everyone's smilin'<br />
Someone's telling them to just stop trying<br />
