Stevie Wonder, Aisha Morris - Positivity lyrics

Some people ask me why always
On the bright side
When there's so much going on
Down the other side
It's like i live in a bubble with no trouble
And problems don't exist
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 papa use to say
You can always look at the negative
But, you should always live in the positive
So i try everyday to live that way

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Some people live in what was and
What they could have been
As opposed to living in a what
Is and how much they can
And be the first to complain about
Nothing in life going their way
The attitude is "that i
Can't do nothing 'bout"
And very happy with just breathing in and out
The ones that when you say
"lets go make a difference"
They'll say "naw that's ok"
So I don't waste time on the trip side
Because i do know the real on the flip-side
And i'm crystal clear everyday
That's 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 joy in the blessing
That still the ground is not above me
And for the people
That i can truly say do love me, i feel
Positivity, because that's what life's
Meant to be positivity, because this day did
Not have to be

Some ask me why i'm such an optimist
When it's more fashionable be a pessimist
From what's in seventy-five percent
Of what we read, hear and view
Well i use to have a
Friend named minnie riperton
Who use to always say when she was living
"Like fine wine i like seeing the glass 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
Yeah

When people ask me as an african American
What do i see for tomorrow in the human plan?
Is it possible for all the people
Of the world to co-exist?
I say unity is only as big as our vision
And if it's narrow
Try to expand beyond the horizon
But true leaders must guide us
Through the ills of society
That stands in our way
So if the road is to harmony
Be with the call but, if it's about discord
Don't take the ride at all
Because the world vision i see
Is the one-we for everybody

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah

When i see the morning
And the sun is smiling down upon me
I joy in the blessing
That still the ground is not above me
And for the people
That i can truly say do love me, i feel
Positivity, because that's what life's
Meant to be positivity, because this day did
Not have to be

Positivity, because that's what life
Means to me positivity, because this day did
Not have to be
Positivity, because that's what life's
Meant to be
Positivity, because that's the energy
The world needs
Positivity, because that's the energy
The world needs
