lyrics

I've seen a light in a foreign love
I've spoken right when push comes to shove
I've climbed atop the growing hill
I've stood and faced the winter chill
Weather me, erode my fate
Eyes to see, both love and hate
I spoke my mind, spoke in tongues
The optimist I will become

What is this
Sift through the mist
What is this
What are we running from
What is this
Abrasive fist
What is this
I have become

This isn’t deceit, it’s regret we’re abstaining from
So follow the course of the fight until we have won

I’m fading into growing light
Envelop me and take my sight
Bring upon uplifting thought
To shadow all these hints of doubt
I know my place, my abled mind
Has all but left those fears behind
So I’ll continue on the path I run
The optimist I will become

What is this
Sift through the mist
What is this
What are we running from
What is this
Abrasive fist
What is this
I have become

It’s more than belief, following but the path that we run
Here’s to the fight, the fight we’ve already won

Just trust in yourself, with steps at the speed of a run
Just trust in yourself, trust in the light of the sun

Behind me creeps the darkest night
Without a chance of a lonely light
So I’ll continue on this path I run
The optimist I will become
