the truth shines through

if all the world's a stage
like they say
then i'm it's biggest critic
'cause everyday
my words are more optimistic
than my heart tends to be
i'm singing 'bout beauty
my eyes have yet to see
and my biggest fear to date
is that it'll never come
that life passes us all by
and dreams set with the sun

i don't wanna be like you momma
never happy with what i've got
and no, i can't be like you papa
saying everything's OK, when clearly it's not

so where does that leave me?
in this sad, hopeless state
penniless and lonesome
looking for some way out
there's no light at the end of this tunnel
nothing but dark all around
i wish i had a guide
someone to show me the way
cause i'll be goddamned if i give it up now
when, even though it's raining outside
i know the weatherman can change his mind

no there's no chorus with this one
it won't be an easy lesson
i've seen hope in the cracks of the dark
and i can trace it with my eyes
i know the world may laugh at resilience
but my eyes haven't lied to me yet
