Optimist Lyrics by Deva Mahal

Run Deep

0

[Verse 1]
When my sea is burnin’ (Burnin')
When the bow breaks
When my heart is hurtin’ (Hurtin')
And my soul can’t take it
And I feel the need to surrender (Surrender)
'Cause I can’t hold on
Got to remember (remember)
You got to be strong

[Chorus]
Oh, I won’t give up, to all the heartaches that life brings
‘Cause I-I-I believe in love, believe it’s everlasting
Oh, oh-whoa, oh, oh-whoa

[Verse 2]
Now we all fall down (down)
And we all feel pain
And the hurt are drownin’ (drownin')
In the pouring rain
Lord, they don’t make it easy (ain't easy)
Ain’t given nothin for free
But you gotta get on up (get on up)
And get back on your feet

[Chorus]
Oh, I won’t give up, to all the heartaches that life brings
‘Cause I-I-I believe in love, believe it’s everlasting
Oh, oh-whoa, oh, oh-whoa

[Bridge]
It’s hard times, in this hard life
There’s so many demands
But you can make it, there’s no mistaking
If together we stand

[Chorus]
Oh, I won’t give up, to all the heartaches that life brings
‘Cause I-I-I believe in love, believe it’s everlasting, oh oh
Oh, oh-whoa, oh, oh-whoa!

I believe, I believe in love
I believe, I believe
I believe
Yeah!
