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