| [00:06.77] |
Given the light, Give it some truth |
| [00:26.02] |
Given the maybe, Give it some proof |
| [00:30.52] |
This body is cleaner, I'm one to behold |
| [00:35.53] |
My truth was uncovered, Untainted and told |
| [00:40.43] |
I loathed the people I considered old |
| [00:45.07] |
Oh, the optimist |
| [00:55.52] |
Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead |
| [01:00.27] |
Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed |
| [01:04.98] |
As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong |
| [01:09.83] |
The notion that future events must go on |
| [01:14.72] |
No matter the turn out is right or is wrong |
| [01:23.07] |
They trusted you |
| [01:27.94] |
And all the things you often made them do, and now |
| [01:34.27] |
Everyone smilin' |
| [01:38.57] |
Telling me I've got to trust you to |
| [01:42.86] |
Do no wrong |
| [01:48.09] |
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now |
| [01:53.76] |
Everyone's cryin' |
| [01:58.24] |
Someone's telling them to just stop trying |
| [02:06.42] |
Given some truth, Call it a lie |
| [02:10.96] |
Given some action, Ask yourself why |
| [02:15.60] |
This body is slow, And it's seen its best days |
| [02:20.64] |
My truth is uncovered, My negative ways |
| [02:25.40] |
I'm one of the people I struggle to praise |
| [02:34.29] |
Oh, the pessimist |
| [02:40.13] |
Teach me to follow, But never to lead |
| [02:45.13] |
Teach me to stay down, And never succeed |
| [02:49.86] |
When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit |
| [02:54.82] |
The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit |
| [02:59.76] |
I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit |
| [03:07.81] |
They trusted you |
| [03:12.95] |
With all the things you often made them do, and now |
| [03:19.29] |
Everyone smillin' |
| [03:23.59] |
Telling me I've got to trust you to |
| [03:28.07] |
Do no wrong |
| [03:32.37] |
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now |
| [03:38.63] |
Everyone's smilin' |
| [03:43.22] |
Someone's telling them to just stop trying |
