Positivity by Stevie Wonder

Lyrics from the song “Positivity” by Stevie Wonder for a positivism boost 🙂

Song from the album “a time to love” 😉

Some people ask me why always on the bright side.
When there`s so much goin down on 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 in size and age my papa used to say.
You can always look at the negative.
But you should always live in the positive.
So I try everyday 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 live in what is and how much they can.
And be the first to complain about nothin in life goin their way.
The attitude is ” that there I can`t do nothin `bout`
And very happy with just breathin in and out.
The ones that when you say “let`s go and make a difference”
They`ll say “naw, that`s ok”
So I don’t waste time on the trip side.
Cause 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.

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.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
Cause this day did not have to be.

Some people ask me why I`m such an optimist.
When It`s more fashionable to be a pessimist.
From what`s 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 livin.
Like fine wine I like to see 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 sayin I`ve had enough.
Long as my heart is beating I ain`t givin up.
That`s whay I say everyday.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

When people ask me as an African-American.
What do I see tomorrow for the human plan.
Is it possible for all the people to co-exist.
I say unity is only as long as our vision.
And if It`s 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 It`s about discord, don`t take the ride at all.
Cause the world vision i see a one-we for everybody.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

When you see the morning.
And the sun is shining down upon you.
Just joy in the blessing.
That still the ground is not above you.
And for the people.
That can truly say do love you.
Do feel 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`s meant to be.
Positivity.
Cause that`s the energy the world needs.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life`s meant to be.
Positivity.
And this day did not have to be.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life means to me.
Positivity.
And that`s the energy the world needs.
Positivity.
Cause that`s what life`s meant to be.
Positivity.
And that`s the energy the world needs.
