[Intro]
I'm hopeful, yeah
I'm hopeful, yeah ay
[Verse 1]
If there is one thing I learned from being alive
Is that it's great and you shouldn't let anyone try
To take it from you and push you into living their lie
If anyone tries to give you their piece of advice
Stay true to yourself, not to what they fantasized
I don't know what their motive is behind of all this commotion
As a matter of fact, I'm not sure they know what they're causing
A different point of view sometimes can prove a really good notion
It can help us understand better each other's emotions
And emotions are a pretty strong trait of ours
Not the best, though, when it comes to figuring out
What people would want
When we fail to do that
They come at us like we're at fault and like it's our oversight
I'm hoping they will understand that in this matter we're blind
But it's a matter of time
The more you know someone, you'll get to scrutinize their mind
That's why I hold my head up and I look forward to get to know life
Don't focus on what happened no more, what I didn't do right
'Cause I can be particularly good at doubting my past
But I decide instead to redirect myself to what's next
I'm hoping for good
I'm hoping to meet new people I could
Work on myself and maybe be liked by those whom I should
Keep the closest
Tell me, what'd you do if you knew it?
That you hurt someone you love inadvertently, would you re-do it?
If you'd know that it will kill them inside would you commit?
Would you pick up the knife or throw it right at their feet
Would you prefer someone new in your life, if they might be a fiend
I'm willing to take that risk if it means that I might win
[Chorus]
I'm hopeful
Positive things might happen in my life
I'm hopeful, yeah
I know that life has more to offer
Hopeful, ay
I know, when it's done that it ain't over
Hopeful, yeah, yeah I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful
[Verse 2]
I know some things will hurt me when I grow up, too
But I anticipate to stumble because it'd be opportune
For me to take the advantage and play the game by my rules
Set the record straight and maybe have the chance to construe
My future, 'cause I'm vastly hoping that it ain't all plotted through
That it ain't all plotted through
Otherwise I'll have to spew
All my plans, all my hopes
My whole fu-tu-ture
I got time to achieve so I
Shoo-shoo-shoot
Don't stop to debate and overthink my moves
If I slow down I might reconsider my clues
I don't want that, hoping I ain't missing my cue
I'm just sixteen
I got so many things
Just under my nose that I have not yet seen
So many places in the world where I have not yet been
So many people who can change the course of my plane I am yet to meet
But it just seems so seamless
Flawless
It makes me some less
Confident
I mean, where are the stitches
"Life isn't perfect, what, don't you know it?"
Why do you think that I'm not aware of that
Do you think I'm a disconnected wire?
I know all of those things
I simply ignore them to just live
I simply force them to just leave
That's my own way to hold life still
That's why I'm hoping to just chill
Why I'm hoping it will let me go and have a little freedom, I'm okay with a bit boredom, I just wanna have control of them
Will
You
Let me be in charge of my own body?
I'm hoping one day I can gain control that ain't partial
I'm hoping to be the marshal
In my own regional water
I know I'm hoping for a lot but I'm just tryna retain myself
My soul and flesh
And I'm just aiming not to hurt no one
Who don't deserve a fate worse than death, I mean
Having the unsettling feeling and thinking that they're hurting me
This thing's like a cobweb
Neither a start, nor is there an end
But I know one thing that they're saying
If you can't go above it then go through is what I'm doing
I will cut the wires in this web
And alter their whole footing
[Chorus]
I'm hopeful
Positive things might happen in my life
I'm hopeful, yeah
I know that life has more to offer
Hopeful, ay
I know, when it's done that it ain't over
Hopeful, yeah, yeah I'm hopeful, I'm hopeful
I'm hopeful
(Hopeful)
