Outlook

(album: One Thing At A Time - 2023)

I used to think that it was me against the world, but it wasn't
Thought drinking from a glass half empty made it better, but it doesn't
Funny all the things you realize
When that 20/20 hindsight vision opens up your eyes

Now my outlook on life is different than it used to be
Yeah, my outlook is someone's up there
Looking down and looking out for me

Something in my rambling soul said I had to go toe to toe with the devil
Fell in love with a gypsy girl, said she couldn't risk it on a rebel
At least not one that doesn't have a cause
And I'll admit, I guess back then that's all I really was

Now my outlook on life is different than it used to be
Yeah, my outlook is someone's up there
Looking down and looking out for me

There's so many crossroads you come to
And you can't put your finger on
Why you went the way you did, and then

You look up and here you are on the flip side of crazy
It's something more than lucky stars you thank when you kiss your baby
Always believed in God and angels in the sky
But never thought that I deserved an angel by my side

Now my outlook on life is different than it used to be
Yeah, my outlook is someone's up there
Looking down and looking out for me

Now my outlook on life is different than it used to be
Yeah, my outlook is someone's up there
Looking down and looking out for me
Yeah, looking down, looking out for me
