The Optimist
by Ross Wright

Album: Hallelujah, There's a Place for Me

I try to fix coffee in the morning
But the drive thru's waiting with my cup
I try to run away from my problems
But they keep catching up
I try to dance when it's raining
Sing when it's sink or swim
It's my hymn, amen

The optimist drove straight into a tree
The pessimist won the lottery
The world keeps turning and there's a place for me
The sinner found God at the top of his game
The saint stopped praying in Jesus' name
The world keeps turning

I can't be the only one, I can't be the only one
I can't be the only one
Who has come down with a case of the human condition
I wanna be in with the in crowd
Wanna wear the crown at the school dance
But I wanna be the rebel out back smoking Camels
While everybody's in class

Hallelujah there's a place for me

Wave the banner high, we don't have to be silent
Everybody get excited
There's a place for you, there's a place for me

The child had faith in what she couldn't see
The grownup was too grownup to believe
