The Optimist Songtext
von Adam French

I′m the rust in the rain
I'm the tears running down your face
Oh, I′m the blood that's rushing through your veins
I'm the numb that′s pushing out the pain

Whatever I am to you that′s fine
Whatever I am to you that's fine

But I hope that your children get to know my name
And I hope that your heart can figure out the pain
I hope, I hope
You won′t let it go to waste
I hope, I hope

I'm a flare in the sun
I′m the damage that's been done
Oh, I′m a ghost in the night
I'm the dark that's shading out the night


Whatever I am to you that′s fine
Whatever I am to you that′s fine

But I hope that your children get to know my name
And I hope that your heart can figure out the pain
And I hope, I hope
You wont let it go to waste
I hope, I hope

But it takes time
To fix it up
Though I pick up all the pieces out the dust
It takes time
To fix it up
Though I pick up all the pieces out the dust
There's nothing left of us


I hope that your children get to know my name
But I hope that your heart can figure out the pain
I hope, I hope
You won′t let it go to waste
I hope, I hope
