about

this song came to me one day while playing guitar in my car. I was at the time having some girl issues haha... it was raining out and i saw a bird flying in a rainstorm carrying a worm. It made me think of where I was at the time. Yeah, it was rough, but i was gonna get through it. I still had the "worm" haha...which is kind of gross to think about....but anyway, then I thought how time is the greatest optimist because it never stops moving. Its always moving forward, and never will it go backwards for you. So I thought, yeah, i just need to give this some time.

lyrics

This bird is flying through a rainstorm,
But she's still got the worm.
She may not see the sun light till the rain dries,
but she moves on, beats her wings down,
through the weight of the rain.


This man is crying by the river.
His heart is broken in two.
His heart is fighting for the breath of love, but theres no air,
No, there's no air that will satisfy his longing for you.


Wake up, it's time to start your new day.
But each new beginning's just another mile away from your heart.
I want to tell you that you're very good at two things,
You can make me smile a thousand times, or rip my heart away.

Time is the greatest optimist
