From the recording Baby Boomer

Album version

Lyrics

Don’t know about you
But I can tell you ‘bout my life
It’s a point of view
I’m optimistic

Oh I can see the long black cloud
It’s hard to smile in the face of an angry crowd
So don’t say it out loud
I’m optimistic

They say in times of crisis you gotta dig deep
Looks like we’ve got to go to the edge of the cliff where the sides are steep
Is that the only way we’re going to wake up from this sleep?
I’m optimistic

I’m not saying that everything’s fine
It’s easy for ills of the world to lay heavy on your mind
I’ve just got a little faith in humankind
I’m optimistic

So will you walk with me in the darkest night
I know right now there’s no end in sight
But if we stick together I know we can put it right
I’m optimistic

They say that this is just a phase we’re going through
In the end we’ll all come round to what we’ve got to do
I’d like to think that maybe some of that is true
I’m optimistic

Don’t know about you
But I can tell you ‘bout my life
It’s a point of view
I’m optimistic

Oh I know it’s easy to get to drawn
Into despair, when you think all hope is gone
The darkest hour is just before the dawn
I’m optimistic

But the darkest hour is just before the dawn
I’m optimistic

But the darkest hour is just before the dawn
I’m optimistic

Don’t know about you
But I can tell you ‘bout my life
It’s just a point of view
I’m optimistic

I’m optimistic
