Cleaned the slate, rearranged the shelves Threw out the version that didn't serve me well Morning light through a different lens Not starting over, just starting again Glass half full Not because I'm naive Glass half full Because I poured what's in it Every drop was earned Every lesson learned Glass half full And I'm the one who filled it Used to count the things I lost Now I'm adding up what the struggle cost Turns out the price was worth the view Standing here, brand new altitude Glass half full Not because I'm naive Glass half full Because I poured what's in it Every drop was earned Every lesson learned Glass half full And I'm the one who filled it Optimism isn't blindness It's a choice you make with open eyes And I choose this I choose this
