naysayers

Alanis Morissette

I've had glimpses of the highest versions since my youth
I saw pictures of these predetermineds
That were extraordinary
They were born out the gate
What to do when they come true

Well you naysayers
And you dream killers
And by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
In the face of 'you can't'

I'd seen moments of sweet partnership before we could
I've had times where I could smell
The smells of something pure portending
I saw sea colored eyes
What to do when they come true

Well you naysayers
And you dream killers
And by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
In the face of 'you can't'

I've had goals of serving far and wide while ridiculed
I've had notions of a family with someone brave like you
They were feared? and inviting
What to do when they come true

Well you naysayers
And you dream killers
And by all others be damned
I'm an example of perseverance
In the face of 'you can't'

Aspirations of offering benefit through god misused
I've seen pictures of our love abiding long before I married
I had shot for the moon
What to do when they come true
