lyrics

I'm optimistic came through the door today
sold out my business then went outside to play
caught me a rainbow
and called it my own
walked right past some bad luck
and laughed the way home
well I've been looking for a good way
to get my life around
I'm getting used to waking up
and not letting my right self down
I know good people
and they keep me real
I'm not talking bout a right or wrong way
but a way that I feel
I laugh a lot more at myself
cause every day is something else
it's easier to look at things that don't make sense
for everything
can seem real dark if you choose to see it all that way
and maybe a smile is what I need
to keep me going to keep me free
just laugh a lot and kid myself
and get my kicks from raising hell
my friends are there to rescue me
when I get in bad company
well I was looking for the right time
to get myself in line
always thought that it should feel right
for anything to ease my mind
but the winter casts a cloud
on some I guess
only makes me tired might as well give it a rest
you know
you know
you know
I laugh a lot more at myself
cause every day is something else
it's easier to look at things that don't make sense
for everything
can seem real dark if you choose to see it all that way
and maybe a yes is what I need
like nothing else
to cut it clean
says a lot with just one word
like everything that you deserve
and yes you are a friend to me
and yes we're good oh yes indeed
you know
you know
you know
yes you know
you're not lost
no you're not lost
yes you know
I'm optimistic came through the door today
sold out my business then went outside to play
caught me a rainbow
and called it my own
walked right past some bad luck
and laughed the way home

about

Joe Hehir Cornwall, Ontario

I've been writing songs all of my life and taught myself to play piano, guitar, trumpet and harmonica. I used to think that music happened because of the instrument I played mainly the piano. Then I realized it all just comes from my head and it doesn't matter what instrument you play. You can be a virtuoso silver spoon player and not even know it. Just pick up some spoons and give it a try ... more
