Be optimistic

Be optimistic

Oh...oh...yeah...

Be optimistic

[Verse 1: Melba Moore + Phil Perry]
When in the midst of sorrow
You can't see up when looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring
You hear the voice of reason
Telling you this cannot weigh me down
No matter how hard reality seems
Just hold on to your dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test

[Chorus]
As long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic
[Verse 2: Melba Moore + Phil Perry]
If things around you crumble
No, you don't have to stumble and fall
Keep pushing on and don't you look back, yeah
I know the storms and strife
Cloud up your outlook on life
Just think ahead and you'll be inspired
To reach higher and higher

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll always do your best
If you learn to never say never
You maybe down, but you're not out
Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test

[Chorus]
As long as you keep your head to the sky
(Keep your head to the sky)
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic
[Bridge: Melba Moore + Phil Perry]
Keep your eyesight on...
Focus on the prize...oh
Be optimistic
Optimistic (Keep your eyesight on...)
Look up (And focus on the prize)

[Chorus]
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
You can win as long as you keep your head to the sky
Be optimistic
