Generate meaning
1
Given the light, Give it some truth
2
Given the maybe, Give it some proof
3
This body is cleaner, I'm one to behold
4
My truth was uncovered, Untainted and told
5
I loathed the people I considered old
6
Oh, the optimist
7
Teach me to follow, Teach me to lead
8
Teach me to stand up, And how to succeed
9
As long as I'm upright, I'll try to prolong
10
The notion that future events must go on
11
No matter the turn out is right or is wrong
12
They trusted you
13
And all the things you often made them do, and now
14
Everyone smilin
15
Telling me I've got to trust you to
16
Do no wrong
17
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now
18
Everyone's cryin'
19
Someone's telling them to just stop trying
20
Given some truth, Call it a lie
21
Given some action, Ask yourself why
22
This body is slow, And it's seen its best days
23
My truth is uncovered, My negative ways
24
I'm one of the people I struggle to praise
25
Oh, the pessimist
26
Teach me to follow, But never to lead
27
Teach me to stay down, And never succeed
28
When everyone's watching, It's hard to admit
29
The movement of shadows, That lead me to quit
30
I grapple with time, But I can't make it fit
31
They trusted you
32
With all the things you often made them do, and now
33
Everyone smillin'
34
Telling me I've got to trust you to
35
Do no wrong
36
'Cause if you do, You just won't live as long, and now
37
Everyone's smilin'
38
Someone's telling them to just stop trying
