I spoke with a young man the other day - a friend of a friend and he said to me.
I want what I want but I have to pay. I get what I need but it isn’t free.
I’m not the man who couldn’t set sail - just a guy who knew he’d fail.
Don’t like what I am - don’t like what I see - and you wouldn’t either if you were me.

(chorus) Don’t ya know that it’s all choice - just listen now to your real voice.
You can let yourself be free. Is your glass half full or half empty? Is it half empty?

I met a young girl the other day - she talked to me in an unusual way -
she said I’m lonely most of the time - in today's world I can’t make the climb.
Don’t know my family - haven’t seen ’em for years - I’m thinkin’ Champagne - they’re drinkin’ beers - My job’s a mess - in a state of flux - life's a drag - no, life really sucks.

(chorus) Don’t ya know that it’s all choice - just listen now to your real voice. You can let yourself be free. Is your glass half full or half empty. Is it half empty.

(bridge) You may marvel at me with my atheistic faith - but I’ve found solace in balance and I know it’s the way.

(chorus) Repeats 3 times.
