Everybody wants a good life
And a home
Everybody wants a good friend
When they're alone
And everybody don't want nobody to know
That everybody's got a soul with a great big hole
In the middle of it
Life's a riddle and we try to solve it
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Cause everybody's got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn 'em into blessings
Don't complicate it
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Oh, just work hard and be nice to people
Work hard and be nice
I don't need a castle
Or a throne
I'm just tryin' to do a little more right
Than I do wrong
I don't want nobody to know
That I got a soul with a great big hole
In the middle of it
And I'm just tryin' to fill a little of it
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Cause everybody's got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn 'em into blessings
Don't complicate it
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Oh, just work hard and be nice to people
Just work hard and be nice
So keep your eyes to the skies and your feet on the ground
And if you gotta frown I'll help you turn it around and
Don't let nobody ever tell you you can't be
Who you wanna be or who you wanna see
In this love or this life or this day
So when it's dark, look on the bright side
And when it rains, wait on the sunshine
Everybody likes gettin' them good vibes
'Cause everybody's got a heart on the inside
We could take all the hard lessons
Add a little lovin' and turn em into blessings
Don't complicate it
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
Just work hard and be nice to people
Just work hard and be nice
Don't complicate it
Keep it simple
Just work hard and be nice to people
All of us are equal
So just work hard and be nice to people
