Optimistically Correct

by Twisted Heart   Jan 8, 2007


If you look with eyes of wonder
at the day you're passing through
You'll find the rhyme and reason,
for all the things you do.

Within the passion of a life
that you have come to know
Is the strength you have inside
the essence of your soul

You may have times of constant fear
but in the end you'll see
There is a hope, an understanding,
of the heart to let it be

Sometimes a simple little thing
may set you back, but then
You'll find your feet and step ahead
and steer to rights again.

Don't let the words of doubt consume
the heart that leads you on
For with them always on your mind,
they'll follow you along

They'll tempt the soul with hunger pangs
and crush you in the night
And leave your broken spirit
without a beacon in your site.

So when you have that feeling,
that you've been cast aside
Don't bury all your dreaming,
or choose to run and hide.

Hold fast the soul that shields you
from the danger of it's pull
View not the glass half empty,
but that it is half full.
