Unfettered Optimism

There is no demo for this song.

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

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!

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.
