Lyrics Blues Traveler

Blues Traveler

Optimistic Thought

When she wakes it seems so shady

She remembers she's a lady

Ah, but could it be that maybe

She was having lots of fun?

She sees she's wearing leather

In her navel there's a feather

She just has to crack a smile

And close her eyes, her prayer begun

She said “Life I embrace you

I shall honour and disgrace you

Please forgive if I replace you

You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly

And the dawn is coming nearly

And though I'm human and it's early

I swear I'll never forget again”

An explorer, he went wandering

To satisfy his pondering

Basically meandering

Unsure of what he'd find

Braving any danger

But to his family he's a stranger

And from time to time he turns around

And this runs through his mind

He said “Life I embrace you

I shall honor and disgrace you

Please forgive if I replace you

You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly

And the dawn is coming nearly

And though I'm human and it's early

I swear I'll never forget again”

There's a multitude of story

Some is clean and some is gory

But there is no need to worry

If you're sold or if you're bought

We're just spinning on some granite

That we like to call a planet

And if you need to contemplate

Well here's an optimistic thought

Life I embrace you

I shall honor and disgrace you

Please forgive if I replace you

You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly

And the dawn is coming nearly

And though I'm human and it's early

I swear I'll never forget again

Oh, life I embrace you

I shall honor and disgrace you

Please forgive if I replace you

You see I'm going through some pain

But now I see clearly

And the dawn is coming nearly

And though I'm human and it's early

I swear I'll never forget again
