Platanna – Optimist lyrics

I am a drifter, drifting through your world
without consideration
I am a seeker, believing in innovation
I’m a creator, dreaming of fame
knowing you’ve never heard my name

I am the optimist, please be happy, I insist
I am the optimist and I ask you just this

Chorus:
Open your eyes, believe in nor tell a lie
Give me hope, there’s no other way I can cope
For I have to live, even at the risk of dying
And I have to love and be capable of crying

I live for the future
I’m dead for the past
The present’s only a temporary failure

Chorus

I am the optimist, please be happy, I insist
I'm the optimist
