Grand Optimist-City and Colour

[00:17.509] I fear I'll die from complications [00:23.459] Complications due to things that I've left undone [00:31.836] That all my debts will be left unpaid [00:35.770] Feel like a cripple without a cane [00:39.846] I'm like a jack of all trades who’s a master of none [01:04.089] Then there's my father he's always looking on the bright side [01:11.816] Saying things like “Son life just ain’t that hard” [01:19.867] He is the grand optimist, I am the world’s poor pessimist [01:27.864] You give him burdensome times and he will escape unscarred [01:42.839] I guess I take after my mother [01:59.193] I guess I take after my mother [02:26.664] But I used to be quite resilient, gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary [02:40.357] And now the wound has begun to turn [02:44.725] Another lesson that has gone unlearned [02:48.397] But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy [03:04.167] I guess I take after my mother [03:19.218] I guess I take after my mother [03:35.521] I guess I take after my mother [03:51.605] I guess I take after my mother
