Lyrics

Creative Optimism

By: Allison2020

Creative optimism

Is my specialty 

Taking blues and adding rhythm 

Is what sustains me

I’m a plant-strong 30-something 

From Silicon Valley

Where the cost of living gets real high 

If you’re into luxury 

My husband he sells real estate 

For enginerds and techies

We run our biz accordingly 

With systems and boss spreadsheets 

My mother, she’s my role model

A beauty and a friend

She gave me life 

She gave me makeup 

And she taught me how to blend

The fact that you stopped scrolling here 

Really means a lot

‘Cause time is a commodity 

That simply can’t be bought

And no one understands that fact 

Better than me

‘Cause I survived leukemia 

In 2020

I’m a grown ass woman 

Who stopped maturing at ten

And yes indeed 

I still believe 

In all my dreams from then

I love to laugh and play and decorate

Plus singing is my favorite 

But when it comes to fear and pain 

You know I’m down to brave it

Challenges bring forth a change 

That’s coming either way

So I move toward it mindfully

To make change go my way

My dad died of cancer

When I was just a girl

So I made music the answer

To keep him in my world

I literally fell off a horse 

Cantering on a cliff

But I was glad it happened

‘Cause I learned so much from it

Bad things happen 

That much is true I know

That’s why I treat ‘em like curriculum 

So I improve and grow

My morning routine 

Is crucially important 

Cuz if I skip even one thing 

My day’ll feel discordant

I mediate, I feed my brain

Work out for more than booty gains

I thank the sun, I thank the rain

Cherish my joy and love my pain

 

The way good choices ripple 

Is positive and insane

So I’m here to share a little

In hopes you find you gain the same

Yes, I am here to provide 

YOU surprise and delight 

Inspire change 

That starts inside

I will show you how if you decide

Like, follow and subscribe

To become part a part of my high vibe tribe 

Thank you for stopping by

 

Creative 

Optimism 

Transform your blues 

By adding rhythm
