I ought to be writing
But I can’t concentrate
‘Cause I should have been sleeping
Instead of staying up late

Nothing seems to work now
So I’ll call it a night
Set aside my paper and pen
And turn out the light

Two hours to the alarm
So I stretch out on my bed
In worn jeans and dirty socks
Thoughts running about my head

I’ll wake up tired but smiling
Each day seems to be brand new
Nightmares and problems fade
As I work each moment through

When I think my old problems
Things that bothered me before
Have faded away from my mind
And don’t worry me anymore

“Give me that horizon!”
It’s what my souls seems to say
And I wake up happier than before
I know ‘today’ will be a great day

I knowthere's problems I face
But I don't need to moan and gripe
And every day is just another day
That'sthe best day of my life

Sometimes it seems like the future
Is all I’ve been waiting for
But thinking about tomorrow
I know it can wait a little more

Proof I'm an optimist. Colt really does need to stop staying up late writing…But it’s my passion and even though I’m always tired lately, it’s a happy tired.

And I HATE the 'life' 'strife' rhyme. xP
