lyrics

Dare I be optimistic in this day and age?
This is the worst I’ve ever felt and it’s not just the plague.
Dare I have hope that things just might get better and improve,
When all external evidence tells me something else is afoot?
Oh no

Oh how I want to believe in dreams
At the tunnel’s end, all filled with sun
But the blues of the news and even you keep telling me
That the horror show has just begun.
Uh oh

Everything’s gone so haywire. So very out of control.
A grinding halt in progress. When will we stop? Nobody knows.
Everyone’s wanting instant results and this is including me.
I cannot think. I’m so distracted. And it’s making me wanna scream.
Ahhh!

Oh how I want to believe in dreams
At the tunnel’s end, all filled with sun
But the blues of the news and even you keep telling me
That the horror show has just begun.
Uh oh

Tell me the fog is lifting up
Tell me there’s such a thing as luck
Tell me real loud, with all yer might
Tell me everything’s gonna be all right

Dare I be optimistic?
Dare I be realistic?
