I don’t see the world as a half empty glass    I don’t know enough to be a pessimist    I believe in the potential of the human heart    Every day I resolve to make a new start       We can change the world    It’s like the thoughts in our heads    I guess you could call me    Call me, an optimist    What we believe about ourselves    It all comes true    You’d better check your point    Your point of view       The prophets of doom fill the world with despair    How can we love when we’re so filled with fear?    They tell us we’re living in the end times    Turn on their news and turn off your life       We can change the world    It’s like the thoughts in our heads    I guess you could call me    Call me, an optimist    What we believe about ourselves    It all comes true    You’d better check your point    Your point of view       When I look at the world I try to see the good    It starts at home and in my neighborhood    And I still believe in the golden rule    So I’m careful with what I say and I do       We can change the world    It’s like the thoughts in our heads    I guess you could call me    Call me, an optimist    What we believe about ourselves    It all comes true    You’d better check your point    Your point of view
