Call Me a Dreamer
I've tried so hard to live my life
As a caring human being
Don't understand the conflicts
Solutions are so easily seen
Just do away with all the hate
It doesn't seem too complicated
What a triumph that would be
If everyone was dedicated
There I go dreaming again
People must think I'm naive
Don't know why I'm an optimist
Guess it's just what I believe
Faith that most people are good
When offered simple choices
Most times they'll choose correctly
Be damned, those dissenting voices
Call me what you will, my friends
I feel much better this way
Get on the road to a joyful life
Let us feast on a happy buffet!
