An Optimist in Perilous times
Why were we born in a time like this
You leave the house, and it might be the last time you felt your mother’s kiss
I speak with no lisp, I say, why do we live in a time like this
Wearing a mask is the new norm, and we cant rekindle our old form
We are dying from an disease that cant be seen
We’re all confused like we've been knocked out in a boxing ring
Things will never be the same, life as we know it should never sustain
Pain is on every corner, nobody wants to be a mourner
Things will get worse before getting better, that's why we should pray that we live forever
Born at the climax of a story, becoming historic figures in his-story
It's now time to finish the story, luckily it's our time to be seen in glory
It ain't over until the fat woman sings, that's how you know we will succeed.
