You say you want to see
The optimist in me
To find the upside
That’s my only way
I’ll always find the sun
Behind the gray.

Chorus

If there’s a way around
Anything that brings me down
I’ll find a way
To claim my space.

And if there’s no way through
I’ll look for something new
Or change my point of view
Or dream to chase.

No life is trouble free
But when trouble comes for me
I won’t hide and I won’t run
I’ll go outside
And seek the sun.

I’ll step out of the shade
And let those shadows fade
I’ll leave behind
The mess I’ve done
And I’ll pretend
The day has just begun.
