I know that after night
The sun will rise again
I know it's only right
For optimism to never end
But I try and I try
And I can't make it work
Cause I cry and I cry
Not seeing the perks
I wish I could be like you
I wish I could always be glad too
Pollyanna
I know that the black dark
Comes before the bright light
Just one passing remark
Sends me back into the darkest night
Maybe it's only me
But I can't seem to smile
Maybe someday I'll see
Good after a while
I wish I could be like you
I wish I could always be glad too
Pollyanna
I wish I could see you
I wish I could be you
I wish I could hear you
I wish I could be near you
I wish I knew the glad game
I wish you'd teach me to play
I wish I could be like you
I wish I could always be glad too
Pollyanna
