Point of View

Today the world can go to hell you say
 An angry life for angry times
 And all around conspiracies
 When life is out to kick you down
 No chance, just dance – a puppet on a string
 And you see your world through cold jaded eyes
 All the beauty and wonderment is gone
 There can be no joy – all darkness without light
 At the day's end you know there's something wrong
 The path you take is up to you
 Can't you see your life is waiting
 Light and dark – a point of view
 Understand this plan is at your command
 Your fate in your hands or be damned
 Today is gonna be a perfect day
 A smile and goodwill all around
 Ignoring plain reality
 Won't let the bastards bring you down
 You feel, unreal – gloss-over everything
 And you see your world through rose shaded eyes
 All the beauty and wonderment adorn
 There will be all joy – no darkness only light
 At the day's end you know there's something wrong
 The path you take is up to you
 Can't you see your life is waiting
 Light and dark – a point of view
 Understand this plan is all in your hands
 The life you make is up to you
 And you'll see a new world is waiting
 And good or bad – a point of view
 Understand this plan is at your command
 Your fate in your hands or be damned
 Today is just another normal day
 Where good and bad can come to anyone
 Dumb luck and no conspiracies
 No false pretense to guide my way
 That's life, that's right – I know it's up to me
 And I see my world through unclouded eyes
 All the cruelty and wonderment unbound
 And the key is balance, no darkness without light
 At the day's end I've known it all along
