about

Optimism is a skill, not a gift.

lyrics

No steps by the back porch
No mat by the door
The key taped to the fenceposts don't
Fit the locks anymore

The ivy's amassed over pretty Austin stone
Get past the long grass, you could make this house a home

This town feels like a city
These roads never sleep
Stars shine like skyscrapers
Ambitious and pristine

Each field yields more wheat than the one before
And even the trees want to rule the world

CHORUS
Just keep holding on
Just keep looking up

Each kid gets a free ride
Each man gets a gun
You can learn how to shoot it
Or let it rip you apart

Each villain's a victim in someone else's eyes
Perfection's a level; you have to learn to rise

CHORUS
Just keep holding on
Just keep looking up

This world is going to break you if you don't fight back
This world is going to break you if you don't fight back
This world is going to break you if you don't fight back
This world is going to make you
This world is going to make you

CHORUS
Just keep holding on
Just keep looking up
