The world seems so much brighter
When you see the world through my eyes
Every flower has a smile
No one ever leaves and says goodbye

It's like everything's clear
There are hardly any clouds
The sun shines brightly
And there are huge happy crowds

I can't explain how my eyes
Seem to turn **** into gold
It's a gift, I've got to admit
A super power, If I may be so bold

Everyone wonders why I always have a smile
Everyone wonders "Jessie, what makes you so glad"
I tell every one of those people the same thing
"Guys, to tell you the truth, the world ain't that bad."

They can roll their eyes and deny me
They can even disparage my belief
They can never take away my eyes
Not even for a moment that's very brief

They can all look at the **** of this world
They can look at glass and see its half empty
I'd probably look at the same glass
And tell them, "Mmm, that water looks tasty."

Why must the world hate because of my smile?
I just see things in color and not black and white
I'm sure there are more people just like me
And together with these people, happiness is our right
