I love life filled with optimism. In fact, I find it difficult to write songs or rhymes without optimism. And in this day and age that’s almost weird. Right? But I believe I’ve got a lot of things to be optimistic about. Yeah. Check out this list…
- wars
- thieves
- politicians (oops, that’s redundant)
- liars (oops, I did it again, Britney)
- ne’er-do-wells of all makes and models.
Uh-oh. That’s not the list of things to be optimistic about.
That’s actually one of the lists of things I don’t wanna sing or write about. And none of those things in that list elicit or inspire optimism.
But thankfully, I love life. And that leads to a love for the Source of life. Yeah, here I go again. Finding a way to work God into the conversation. But if it weren’t for Him, I wouldn’t even be here to sing about how wonderful, beautiful, precious, and fragile life is.
And even if I end up as one of the biggest fools who ever lived, I still believe I’m gonna live forever in paradise with the Creator of my life.
Now, that’s something to be optimistic about. And it gives me a lifelong mission. Because most people are lackadaisical about. They’re sorta like this guy…
I’ve Got Things To Do
I wouldn’t mind stopping all of the wars
I’d be a diplomat,
If I could know for sure in my heart
That it was simple as that.
But peace will have to wait.
I can’t just change my life around.
I’m in the middle of something
That has me helplessly bound.
I’ve got things to do.
And I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see
And savings to grow
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I wouldn’t mind spreading love in the world.
I’d work it every day.
I know that someone’s life can be changed.
When you give love away,
But love will have to wait;
We’re gonna have to hold that thought.
I’m on a merciless mission…and though it hurts a lot
I’ve got things to do.
And I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see
And futures to grow
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
I’m sure someone will come along
Who could easily fit the bill/
And when they do, I’ll lend my support,
If I can ever get over this hill.
I’ve got things to do.
And I’ve got places to go.
I’ve got people to see
And dreams to grow
And though I don’t know how to see this through
I know for sure I’ve got things to do.
