Coffee's strong, the sky is clear
Took a breath, the world feels near
Shoes untied, but I don’t care
There’s good air everywhere
No checklist, no perfect line
Just today, and it feels fine
Bright side up, that’s my plan
Take it slow, but here I stand
No big speech, no perfect song
Just a beat I walk along
Bright side up, watch me go
With a breeze that’s soft and low
Even if the path’s not straight
I’ve got sunshine on my plate
Window’s down, the bus rolls by
Kid’s laugh echoes in the sky
I’m not rushing to arrive
It just feels good to be alive
No checklist, no perfect line
Just today, and it feels fine
Bright side up, that’s my plan
Take it slow, but here I stand
No big speech, no perfect song
Just a beat I walk along
Bright side up, watch me go
With a breeze that’s soft and low
Even if the path’s not straight
I’ve got sunshine on my plate
Some days fall, some days fly
But I can smile and still ask why
Not every answer has to show
Some things, you just let grow
Bright side up, no disguise
I see good in cloudy skies
No spotlight, no need to shine
Just this rhythm that is mine
Bright side up, that’s the way
I find light in every day
Not by chance, but by choice
And I sing with my own voice
