None Like Joshua
The Optimist
– it’s a cold winter afternoon
I know there ain’t a thing that I have to do
I could go to sleep, or start asking you
Could I borrow nother dollar
For some fast food?
Just offering – some gratitude
It’s hard to feel so black and blue
When everybody tips for my hat and broom
Got to laugh and then I just
Blast a tune, c’mon
God laughs and then I just blast a tune, c’mon
Got to laugh and then I just blast a tune, c’mon
Living out another humble life
Close friends with the concrete
Jungle nights
Been in rumble fights
But it doesn’t really phase me
Summer time’s just too hot to be lazy
Making more than the third world
But I wait to see – where fate won’t take me
– They call me the optimist
Hard to miss
Bottom of a ladder but the top is when
You can smile when it’s gone to shit
No frown ever sounds like awesomeness
– Then I walk into a garden of bliss
Made of street lights, deep sighs blossoming
I’m offering – some gratitude
Cause I often feel so black and blue
When nobody wants to tip for my hat and broom
God laughs and then I just
Blast a tune, c’mon
Got to laugh and then I just blast a tune c’mon
God laughs and then I just blast a tune
Going on unaccounted for
Everything that I earned is outpoured like the
Cup doesn’t have any end for more
No water’s gonna fill my reservoir
But that’s okay, cause I don’t give a fuck
Been kicked in the butt
While sitting on a truck
Missed my luck I wish the sun
Would shine bright where I live
On a bridge just in the slums
Been aback but now I’m pickin it up
Listen to what
I got to say or you’ll be missing the pun
I’m giving the love
And I don’t see a difference in us
I whistle for fun and now I keep skipping the glum
Just offering – some gratitude
I love to feel so black and blue
When anybody tips for my hat and broom
They laugh and then I just
Blast a tune, c’mon
God laughs then I just blast a tune c’mon
Got to laugh and then I just blast a tune
