Guess I'm just jaded, guess I'm just numb (guess I'm just numb)
Guess I'm just waiting for the light of morning to come
Guess I'm just looking for hope that'll make my stone-heart sing
Watch for tomorrow to see what it brings
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
Tell me there's more
Tell me there's something more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to
Show me there's more
Show me there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
They tell me, "Be positive", as if that'll help
I say, "I'm an optimist", but I'm fooling myself
Show me Your promises, show me we win
'Cause wearing these glasses, I can't see a thing
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing (for the one who sows to his own flesh)
(Will from the flesh reap corruption)
(But the one who sows to the Spirit)
(Will from the Spirit reap eternal life)
Guess being human is all that it took
To learn life's an ocean and it goes down way
Deeper than it looks
Guess that I know that the eventide isn't as long as it seems
But I doubt that tomorrow will help anything
'Cause in rose-colored glasses I can't see a thing
(Do not be deceived, God is not mocked)
(For whatever one sows, that will he also reap)
And that's where I am when a gentle voice says
"Don't become weary, you'll heal in due season"
Drowning the panic inside o' my hand
"Don't become weary and keep on believing
There's more
Believe that there's something more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to"
Promise there's more
Promise there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
Tell me there's more
Tell me there's something more than hollow-hearted
Happy thoughts and clever quotes to cling to
Show me there's more
Show me there's hope in all the darkness
My rose-colored glasses can't see through
Tell me, "Be positive", as if that'll help
I say, "I'm an optimist", but I'm fooling myself
Show me Your promises, show me we win
'Cause wearing these glasses, I can't see a thing
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
In rose-colored glasses, I can't see a thing
