| [00:20.053] | Look at you, face down again |
| [00:24.597] | Same as before, and you know why this happens |
| [00:29.464] | At this point, there’s no real reason to believe |
| [00:37.772] | You don’t need eyes in the back of your head to see |
| [00:46.632] | This is the way you are, have always been |
| [00:50.981] | Ever the fool |
| [00:59.155] | To be young again |
| [01:07.174] | To be young again |
| [01:14.901] | Not wide awake, just narrow |
| [01:23.078] | Not open to the bows and arrows |
| [01:47.782] | Ever the optimist, you won’t be fooled again |
| [01:56.548] | You get knocked down, then get up again |
| [02:09.058] | In your coat of armor, you alone cultivate the land |
| [02:17.602] | And remove the daggers from others hands |
| [02:26.617] | You run the water, you soak their feet |
| [02:31.150] | You fill the cups, you make them drink |
| [02:35.716] | This is the way you are, have always been |
| [02:46.035] | Ever the leader, the consummate believer |
| [02:54.905] | Ever the leader, the consummate believer |
| [03:03.540] | Not wide awake, just narrow |
| [03:12.330] | Not open to the bows and arrows |
| [03:19.882] | Ever the optimist, you won’t be fooled again |
| [03:28.698] | You get knocked down, then get up again |
| [03:36.606] | This is who you are, this is what you do |
| [03:45.629] | when all else fails, ever the optimist |
| [00:20.053] | Look at you, face down again |
