The Optimist

Drive at night in the slow lane

Rabbit in headlights run away, run away

The great escape in the slow lane

Before it’s too late to run away, run away

The life we left behind

See, they all are alike

The life we left behind

Dreaming all our life

We ride on hopes

Designed our world

Let go of you and I

Run for our light

Don’t look behind
