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 (Anita Cracauer)
