Yeah yeah

Yeah, Yeah, yeah

VERSE 1

I’m slowly starting to believe in the power of positivity

The power that comes in believing in possibilities

I lost and found and lost myself again but I am

Finding myself once again in my own strengths and abilities

Separating myself from the chaos within

Finding my direction again when my head seems to spin

Blossoming, growing and slowly rising above the norm

Seeing the glass as not half empty but as half full

I take my losses and go back to the drawing board

Searching deep within me for negatives that I always hoard

Let go of them and find solutions when I have еxplored

Myself entirеly and found the source of internal discord

Slowly beginning to see the sun shining

Started working and solving after I stopped whining

Life is amazing when you’re looking on the bright side

And realizing in truth that every cloud has a silver lining

CHORUS

I've had my head low for so long

And it always feels like something’s wrong

I need to remember time after time

That every cloud has a silver lining, yeah

VERSE 2

Taking the good and the bad and bringing the best out

Spreading my wings and I’m slowly leaving the nest now

Grow and adapt and be flexible that’s what life’s about

That’s the knowledge I’m really trynna apply now

My intuition is telling me there’ll be better days’

I believe it even when my mind is in a haze

So even when I can’t find a way out of this maze

Or so it seems I’m somehow able to rise above the craze

Just as you entered the fog you could get out of it

Life will someday show you the legits and the counterfeits

Trust the process and continue growing

One foot in front the other that’s how you reach where you’re going

Every setback you been through propelled you further

So try think of your current challenged the same way

And keep striving to come out strong on the other side

And strive to make life worthwhile on a day to day

Stormy days will always be there that’ll never changes

But what changes is how you get ready for the rain

You become stronger wiser and deal with your cuts better

It don’t get easier you just learn how to deal with pain

You’re gonna go through many trials and harsh climates

Just don’t let them make you veer too far from who you are

And in the midst of all the darkness that surrounds you

Usisahau don’t forget that you’re a freaking star

CHORUS

I've had my head low for so long

And it always feels like something’s wrong

I need to remember time after time

That every cloud has a silver lining, yeah
