Lyrics
VERSE
I don't like no negativity
Gimme some positivity
Life's full of possibility
So take a chance
I see the world in an awesome light
Colors in my eyes so bright
Yeah I know we'll be alright
PRE-CHORUS
When I'm in the dark I find a way
Oooh yeah
To be the sunshine on a cloudy day
CHORUS
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
Even when the world has lost control
I keep a smile upon my face
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
When I'm feelin' down I look around
And I know tomorrow is a brand new day
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
Woah
I'm an optimist, I'm an optimist, yeah
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
VERSE
Don't worry how things should be
Focus on the way the world could be
If we choose happiness, it would be
Beautiful
Every cloud has a silver lining
Look up and we will find it
Long as we just keep on trying
PRE-CHORUS
When I'm in the dark I find a way
Oooh yeah
To be the sunshine on a cloudy day
CHORUS
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
Even when the world has lost control
I keep a smile upon my face
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
When I'm feelin' down I look around
And I know tomorrow is a brand new day
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
Woah
I'm an optimist, I'm an optimist, yeah
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
BRIDGE
I give thanks each and every day
(Every day)
For all the good things that come my way
(Come my way)
If you're hopeful, you'll be okay
(You'll be okay)
I keep on smiling, smiling, smiling
We keep on smiling, smiling, smiling
We keep on smiling, smiling, smiling
We keep on climbing, higher and higher
Keep smiling, smiling, smiling
CHORUS
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
Even when the world has lost control
I keep a smile upon my face
It'll be alright
It'll be okay
When I'm feelin' down I look around
And I know tomorrow is a brand new day
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
Woah
I'm an optimist, I'm an optimist, yeah
Woah
I like being an optimist, yeah
I'm an optimist
