Bright Side

I’ve been looking for a life that feels right, bro
but none of these wounds seem to heal right so
I just do my best to recognize I’m blessed
even when the world feels like a mess

and if it’s a test I guess I’m down with it
apparently I don’t know my own limits
‘cause I’ve gone further than I ever thought I would
and I’ve done more than I ever thought I could

and it’s all good any day that ain’t bad
lost my mom but I still have dad
and even though me and he don’t see eye to eye
we’re both down to try

and it’s on me to see the light
‘cause no one else can make it right
I’m looking for the bright side
I’m looking for the bright side

and though it’s hard to sleep at night
good dreams come when I don’t fight
I’m looking for the bright side
I’m looking for the bright side

it’s clear I’ve had one hell of year
hard times come and go but nothing really comes near
so dear are the friends on whom I depend
they steer my ship right again and again

no fear is allowed to crowd my way
and that’s not to say that I’m not afraid
but if you’ve got to play anyway then, hey
may as well take a shot might be hot today

there’s a lot at stake in each and every move
good moods stack quicker than views on Youtube
who knew through blues I would find the sun
and somehow learn to fly when I’m inclined to run?

and it’s on me to see the light
‘cause no one else can make it right
I’m looking for the bright side
I’m looking for the bright side

and though it’s hard to sleep at night
good dreams come when I don’t fight
I’m looking for the bright side
I’m looking for the bright side
