When in the midst of sorrow

You can't see up when you looking down

A brighter day tomorrow will bring

You hear the voice of reason

Telling you this can never be done

No matter how hard reality seems

Just hold on to your dreams, yeah

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win

As long as you keep your head to the sky

Be optimistic (Optimistic)

If things around you crumble

No, you don't have to stumble and fall

Keep pushing on and don't you look back (Don't you look back)

Only to see how far you've come, nothing else

I know the storms and strife

Cloud up your outlook of life

Just think ahead and you'll be inspired (Think ahead)

To reach higher and higher

You'll always do your best

If you learn to never say never

You maybe down, but you're not out

Yeah, that's what optimistic is all about

Don't give up and don't give in

Although it seems you never win

You will always pass the test

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win (You'll win)

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win (As long as you keep your head)

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You can win (I been there)

As long as you keep your head to the sky (Don't look low, to the sky, whoa)

You can win

As long as you keep your head to the sky

You just gotta keep it, baby, ooh

You're gonna, you're gonna, goin'

Be optimistic

As long as you keep your head to the sky
