I don't see the world as a half empty glass I don't know enough to be a pessimist I believe in the potential of the human heart Every day I resolve to make a new start We can change the world It's like the thoughts in our heads I guess you could call me Call me, an optimist What we believe about ourselves It all comes true You'd better check your point Your point of view The prophets of doom fill the world with despair How can we love when we're so filled with fear? They tell us we're living in the end times Turn on their news and turn off your life We can change the world It's like the thoughts in our heads I guess you could call me Call me, an optimist What we believe about ourselves It all comes true You'd better check your point Your point of view When I look at the world I try to see the good It starts at home and in my neighborhood And I still believe in the golden rule So I'm careful with what I say and I do We can change the world It's like the thoughts in our heads I guess you could call me Call me, an optimist What we believe about ourselves It all comes true You'd better check your point Your point of view
