burning with optimism's flames
Never seen her glowing  All that bright she's throwing  Like some aurora  From her head it's growing  Reaching to the ground and all around  Like a Navajo blanket   Never heard her singing  Now she's gently ringing  Like copper wind chimes  What on earth is bringing up this stream  The cat who got the cream is licking her lips  And smiling like her Cheshire cousin  She claims she's found a way to make her own light  All you do is smile, you banish the night   She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away  She says she's burning up all her guilts and shames, away away  She says she's burning with optimism's flames, away away  She says she's burning up   Now you see I'm smiling  Back to juvenile'ing  I learnt her lesson  In like flint and styling  All the world is neatly curled around my littlest finger   I can't stop this grinning  So assume I'm winning  Threw pessimism  In the air it's spinning  Crashing to the floor and nevermore  Will it lure me away with sweets  And shiny things just like a magpie   Now every bird and bee just fuel the fire for me  Now every closing door just fans the flames some more   (Now I'm thinking okay)  (I'm turning night into day)
