Things are looking up
The sun is brighter
Got a new perspective and my heart feels lighter
Things are looking up
My spirit’s higher
I can feel my heart getting la, la, la, la, la, lighter

I can’t explain the way I feel today
Something is different, something is restored
Yesterday I had given up
I was defeated, I was ignored
I stayed up all night feeling sorry for myself
I did not know how to go on
Then a flash of light in the violet sky brought the dawn
And I heard a brand new song

Things are looking up
The sun is brighter
Got a new perspective and my heart feels lighter
Things are looking up
My spirit’s higher
I can feel my heart getting la, la, la, la, la, lighter
My heart feels lighter
I’m all right!

And I feel like I’m ready to try again
Don’t let this moment pass me by
‘Cause there was a lesson for me
Only now can I see
It could only be learned through adversity
I’m gettin’ back in this game
Got no time for shame
Who needs tomorrow?
The sun is coming out today

It’s shining brighter
My heart is lighter
My spirit’s already higher and higher
Oh, things are looking up
I know I’m gonna be all right
Got a new lease on my life
