The Optimist

I am just a small cry in the wide world

Wisdom came from northern winds and

Others decide this won’t be a long life

But the living do what they must to hide

And I’ll sleep in the safety of the petrified

Would you believe me if I told you

I’m caught up on everything

Reconciliation comes to the ones who hold on

Creation halts and earth is barren

Trawling waters that you never swam in, it’s wrong

I am looking for an answer but they are thin on the ground

Not in the clouds

Not yet

Me entenderías

¿entenderías que puedo ver?

casi nos fuimos

hicimos las mismas

cosas que vimos años antes, dolorosos

En aire mal

Tal vez al final veré

Would you believe me

Would you believe me if I saw you again

I would try leaving

If I could see you

Me entenderías

¿entenderías que puedo ver?

casi nos fuimos

If I could see you, I would try anything
