Optimism
By Electric Fire
I know many people,
And some of them would say,
How can you stay happy
With everything that's gone your way?
I don't really understand myself,
But is it not better,
To be happy rather than sad,
No matter what the weather?
I have good friends,
At home and at school,
I will not be under pressure,
To change and be "cool"
So what if I'm a bit girly?
So what if I am strange?
I like myself the way I am,
And I'm not gonna change.
Happiness is different,
In everyone's eyes,
For some it may be a book,
For others, pumpkin pie.
I find my happiness in my memories,
And knowing who I am,
I wouldn't give that up for anything,
Even if I would be a better man.
As long as I like my self,
And as long as I have friends,
I will always be happy,
My optimism never ends.
