Unfettered Optimism
by @rdlinder
Lyrics
Sitting in the doctor’s office Turn my head and now I’m coughing I ask what’s wrong and he says “nothing” I’m in a perfect state of health.
At the window of the teller Bank account is doing stellar May not be a Rockefeller I’m in a perfect state of wealth
Things are going rather nicely Have no reason to complain Eggs may be a little pricey Maybe I will just abstain
Look outside and see it’s raining Water flowing, drains are draining I am dry, I’m not complaining It’s just another pre-Spring day
Look inside the lights are shining Round the table we are dining All around us people whining Living in their world of gray
I can only dream this good life Real life is too unfair If I give in to all this strife It could be too much to bear

If only. That's a real sting in the tail. I live with an unfettered optimist and believe me, it's better than living with the alternative (e,g, cynical me)! But really, an optimistic lyric despite or because of that needle at the end.

Nice lyrics, there's a very rhythmic feel to this and you have a great way with words. It has a playful (upbeat/optimistic!) feel to the beats you've chosen which fits in well with the theme. Very much enjoyed!
