Lyrics

Optimism

And I'm here again, caught my head in the place somewhere else in the stratoshpere

How it came and went, but the thing I never knew is that all of the beauty is here

All things that live, live in a moment, we're what we give, give to the moment

The future is now. Are you gonna be here?

The past ain't a-round

Are you gonna be here, or not?

I am listening. Forget all the plans and the pressures and thoughts ahead

Cause they don't exist, its just me and my breath in the moment that I am in

All things that live, live in a moment, we're what we give, give to the moment

The future is now. Are you gonna be here?

The past ain't a-round

Are you gonna be here, or not?

Or not?
