I want to see what Leonardo saw, oh
First you learn to see, you know
And then you learn to draw
But everything I build, everything I try
Morning turns to afternoon
And af ternoon to evening
As the worker bees are leaving
Pour your concrete onto the bed
And go be a singer instead
A minstrel, he is a pessimist
All he needs to be paid just to sing
A gardener is an optimist
just hoping to see the spring,
hoping to see the spring.
I want to go where pretty people go
That everything they plant
Evening slips on into night
as the foxes they are leaving
with the wall that you cherish is dead
and go sign for United instead
Sportsman he is a blacksmith
though he forges his love into gold
What a child is an optimist
just hoping to score a goal
Tell me why we pray so hard
for something we'll never see
Like a young man on Remembrance Day
Or an old man planting a tree
when all that you cherish is dead
go sign for United instead
Sportsman he is, a blacksmith, oh
he forges his loving to gold
But a child is an optimist,
just hoping to score a goal
