Lyrics
THINKING POSITIVE
Yea the world is in a place where we've never been before
Our country has issues much bigger than any Cold War
We've got to face history to remember where we've been
If we try to erase it, we'll just do it all over again
(CHORUS)
That's why I'm thinking positive for the negativity to end
We've got to stop judging people by the color of their skin
United we stand, divided we never will win
That's why I'm thinking positive for the negativity to end
(SHORT INSTRUMENTAL)
Politicians will keep lying to us as they smile
If they could just get along across both sides of the aisle
I'll believe what I want, but I'll keep it to myself
I don't care what you believe so you can keep THAT to yourself
(TO CHORUS)
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(BRIDGE)
Keep moving straight ahead and keep on moving up
We have to keep the faith that the best is yet to come
Keep hope alive and keep on rising up
Keep marching on to the beat of that same drum
(STOP)
We got to be careful of who we should believe
So many people talking with something up their sleeve
If you don't see it their way, say goodbye to those fair-weather friends
Friends that really matter will be with you 'til the end
(CHORUS)
That's why I'm thinking positive for the negativity to end
We've got to stop judging people by the color of their skin
United we stand, divided we never will win
That's why I'm thinking positive for the negativity to end
