[00:09]some people ask me why always on the bright side
[00:11]when there's so much going down on the other side
[00:14]It's like living in a bubble with no trouble
[00:16]and problems dont exsist
[00:18]i chuckle and tell them that ain't the case at all
[00:22]it goes way back to the time when i was very small
[00:24]not in mind but size and age my pappa use to say
[00:28]you can always look at the negative
[00:30]but you should always live in the positive
[00:33]so i try everything to live in that way
[00:37]yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[00:47]some people live in the what was and what they could have been
[00:50]as oppose to livin in what is and how much they can
[00:53]and be the first to complain about nothin in life going their way
[00:58]the attitude is " that i can't do nothing about"
[01:00]and very happy with just breathing in and out
[01:02]The ones that when you say“let's go make a difference”
[01:05]they‘ll say"naw,that's okay"
[01:07]so dont waste time on the trip side
[01:09]cuz i do know the real on the flip side
[01:11]and im crystal clear everyday thats why i say
[01:16]yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
[01:24](when i see the morning)
[01:30]and the sun is smiling down upon me
[01:34](i joying the blessing)
[01:39]that still the ground is not above me
[01:43](and for the people)
[01:48]And i can truly say do love me,I feel positivity
[01:55]Cause that's what life means to me,Positivity
[02:00]Cause this day did not have to be
[02:23]Some ask me why i'm such an optimist
[02:25]when it's more fashionable to be a pessimist
[02:28]from whats in seventy-five percent of what we read here and view
[02:32]well,i used to have a friend named Minnie Riperton
[02:36]Who used to always say when she was living
[02:38]"Like fine wine i like seeing the class of life as half full than half empty"
[02:42]i'm not saying sometimes life can't be rough
[02:45]but never to the point of me saying i've had enough
[02:47]long as my heart beats i ain't giving up
[02:49]That's why i say everyday
[02:53]Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,
[03:01]when people ask me as an African-American
[03:04]what do i see for tomorrow in the human plan
[03:07]is it possible for all people of the world to co-exist
[03:11]i say unity is only as big as your vision
[03:14]and if its narrow ,strive to expand beyond the horizon
[03:16]but true leaders must guide us through the ills of society that stand in our way
[03:20]so if the road is to harmony,be with the call
[03:23]but if its about discord,don't take the ride at all
[03:25]cause the world vision i see is a one-we for everybody
[03:31]Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,
[03:39](when you see the morning)
[03:45]and the sun is smiling down upon you
[03:48](just joy in the blessing)
[03:54]but still the ground is not above you
[03:58](and for the people)
[04:03]And you can truly say do love me,do feel positivity
[04:10]Cause that's what life means to me,
[04:13]Positivity,and that's the energy the world needs
[04:18]Positivity,cause that's what life means to me
[04:23]Positivity,cause this day did not have to be
[04:27]Positivity,cause that's what life meant to be
[04:32]Positivity,cause that's the energy the world  needs
