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
Burning up
Now you see I’m smiling
Back to juveniling
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
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
She’s burning up
Now every bird and bee, just fuel the fire for me
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Now every closing door just fan the flames some more
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
She says she’s burning up all her guilts and shames, yeah
She says she’s burning with optimism, optimism’s flames, hey
She says she’s burning up
Burning up
Burning up
Now I’m thinking okay
I’m turning night into day
