VERSE 1 | Things Goin’ Wrong
Your world could change at any moment
Talkin’ in-stan-tan-e-ous-ly
What was up
Comes crashing down
Pullin’ on your po-si-ti-vi-ty
VERSE 2 | Negativity Makes You Not Care
Aggravation, frustration
Lessening your motivation
Everything’swirlin’ ‘round you
This hesitation’s – No vacation
Always missing graduation
How are you supposed to get thru???
PRE-CHORUS | Life is a Balancing Act
When you’re just tryin’ to stay alive
On life’s roller-coaster ride
Take a tip – from me
And fol–low this survivor recipe…
CHORUS | Mastering Flexibility
U need 2 be flexible – 2 stay strong
If nothin’s right – don’t mean it’s all-wrong
Listen to your heart – for now
‘Coz If you gotta be here – Then be…
La-da-da-da, Laa Dee da-da, Mm Yeah
You got to live OUTLOUD
La-da-da-da, Laa Dee da-da, Mm Yeah
You got to live OUTLOUD
VERSE 3 | Accepting Life the Way It Is
The world is swirling around you
Goin’ up & down all the time
If you don’t stop
To embrace this
You will miss the grace in life
VERSE 4 | Positivity Keeps It Real
Learning lessons, happiness
Making friends and music
Sounds like a deal that’s great
Optimism is amazing
Think of what you could be missin’
If you don’t stop and contemplate
PRE-CHORUS | You Gotta Recognize the +’s in the Balancing Act
When you’re just tryin’ to stay alive
On life’s roller-coaster ride
Take a tip – from me
And fol–low this survivor recipe…
CHORUS | Mastering Flexibility
U need 2 be flexible – 2 stay strong
If nothin’s right – don’t mean it’s all-wrong
Listen to your heart – for now
‘Coz If you gotta be here – Then be…
La-da-da-da, Laa Dee da-da, Mm Yeah
You got to live OUTLOUD
La-da-da-da, Laa Dee da-da, Mm Yeah
You got to live OUTLOUD
BRIDGE | Pushing Through
When you feel like you can’t go on
Stay strong
When you feel all this negativity
Think of all the positives – In your life
As Aretha Franklin says – “Rock steady baby”
What it is – What it is
What. IT. IS…
