Positive

Chorus:
People always want to ask me how I stay so positive
I'm just basking in the day that my God has given
In life, there's got to be a balance; you know, losses/wins
And that's how I make it through on the walk I'm living

Verse 1:
Each day, I say, Hello
I treat it like my present gift
Why should I live the present tense?
For now I have a future I can choose to make it beautiful
And spread that kindness, and this mindset's what I use it for
(Yeah yeah) I know helps to complain and vent
For y'all but ain't no sense when it can't change events
(So right now) I'm making my main intent
(To find smiles) in my relationship
With the Man above me who loves me
Those who take care of me, hug me
And think that isn't it lovely?
That tomorrow could be sunny
Cause although distress may come to turn me face down
The cards I'm dealt still give me a chance to come play
So I will make my effort to turn the game around
Like the hands have 24 hours a day
(House rules)

Chorus

Verse 2:
Now don't get me wrong
I'm not saying everything is peachy keen
I don't want to scream, but if I bring myself to tears
My fear is that I'll wallow in that scene
I'm struggling check to check; putting each check to debt
Little prospects to get out of the red, but fret not
Cause I'm not stuck in the streets
And privileged enough to be able to eat
So even though I'm slaving just to get by
Working these hours upon hours in the day
My God provides me with support to come to my side
So I know I can make it through it come what may
(Come whatever may)

Chorus

Verse 3:
Each night, I try to smile
In spite of my difficulties
Cause I know life's a fickle thing
And I was told put other's needs before me
So I'm here to be that shoulder to lean on
Hey you! Tell me what's weighing you down
Maybe I can lend advice and I am praying for you now
I have been through something similar
Let me tell you the particulars
Or be an ear to listen
And a hug with your permission
I know tribulations are part of this system
But we're here to stand together through it all
And when we see the happiness there is in giving
The positives in life make your negatives small
(Sing it with me now)
