The optimism that once was mine has reappeared and made me kind
Why it left I will never know
The sense of humor that once was mine has doubled back, removed the blinds
The rivers from my heart have begun to flow
Now I know that the grass was never greener on the other side of town
And there'll be a silver lining behind every cloud
And if we work together we can all make it through
If we work real hard together
If we work damned hard together
If we work real hard we can make it true
