Lyrics

Headlines scream doom and despair Spiraling downward, everywhere I stare Environmental crisis, political upheaval too Media sensationalism, what am I supposed to do? But I don't wallow, won't retreat into denial Face reality head-on, make it all worthwhile Finding meaning in the effort, not the outcome Liberation in the journey, not where I'm from The glass is never really half full or empty It's always entirely full, can you see? Water and air, both present, both real Apocaloptimist, that's how I feel Acknowledge the darkness but still believe Everything will turn out okay, I perceive Twenty-twenty-five feels like a tipping point Hypervigilance got me emotionally disjoint But I focus on what I can do today Plant trees, clean the oceans, mentor youth, light the way Every small action contributes to the wave Positive change, that's what I crave Progress is slow, nonlinear, it's true But worth pursuing, breaking through The glass is never really half full or empty It's always entirely full, can you see? Water and air, both present, both real Apocaloptimist, that's how I feel Acknowledge the darkness but still believe Everything will turn out okay, I perceive When the world feels overwhelming Ground yourself through meditation Box breathing: Inhale... two... three... four Hold... two... three... four Exhale... two... three... four Hold... two... three... four Simple... Anywhere... Anytime There's always something to be grateful for A kind gesture, beautiful sunset, something more The breath in my lungs, life's beauty and resilience Connect with nature, feel the brilliance Not ignoring reality, engaging courageously Finding meaning in small acts, compassionately The glass is never really half full or empty It's always entirely full, can you see? Water and air, both present, both real Apocaloptimist, that's how I feel Acknowledge the darkness but still believe Everything will turn out okay, I perceive Stay grounded... stay hopeful... "Please Stay Hopeful"...keep looking up....what you think and feel does make a positive difference to uniting the whole human tribe... "Hey"...I'm proud of you, and I may not personally know you, yet I still send my love to you...you
