Back to Living Again Lyrics

Now it's always the right time
It's never too late to make a positive change.

With somethin' positive in your mind
Having a positive mindset is key to living a fulfilling life.

There's always someone to pull you down
There will always be people who try to discourage you, but don't let them bring you down.

You just get that work and hold your ground
Keep pushing forward and standing your ground despite obstacles and negativity.

If there's ever somethin' bad you don't wanna see
Avoiding negativity can be beneficial for your mental health.

Just keep on walkin' and let it be
It's important to keep moving forward and not let negativity linger.

I don't wanna hear 'bout all that's bad, no, no
Focusing on the negative can bring you down, so it's best to avoid it.

'Cause all that's bad just makes me sad
Negativity only brings sadness and drags you down.

So every little once in a while
It's important to take breaks and disconnect from the world sometimes.

Show some love and make me smile
Acts of kindness and love can brighten someone's day and bring joy to their life.

Cry sometimes with tears of joy, oh yeah
Tears of joy can be a powerful expression of emotion and a sign of happiness.

Sure would help now where they fall, say yeah
Embracing your emotions and letting them out can be helpful and healing.

Summer, winter or just cold
Regardless of the season or circumstances, life goes on.

Through the rain and through the snow
No matter the obstacles, keep pushing forward and persevering.

Let's get on back to livin' again, right on
It's time to start living life to the fullest and embrace positivity.

Get on back, get on back
Keep moving forward and don't look back on negativity.

Wherever life takes me I don't know, hey
The future is uncertain and unpredictable.

Just give me a truth and let me grow, ooh
Finding the truth and growing from it is essential for personal growth.

I have these feelings in myself, hey
Everyone has personal emotions and feelings that they must navigate.

I am sure there must be someone else
Others likely share similar feelings and emotions to the songwriter.

Shootin' guns in prison life
Violence and crime can lead to serious consequences and imprisonment.

Is that what you want, well, Jesus Christ?
Violence and crime should be avoided for a better life and future.

It's best for you to get back on track
Getting back on track to a positive path in life is essential.

There ain't no need in lookin' back, don't look back
Don't dwell on the past and focus on moving forward.

So you're tryin' hard, well, try again
Perseverance is key to achieving success and reaching goals.

Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
Success and failure are a natural part of life.

Just remember by and by, just remember
Remembering past experiences and using them to learn and grow can be helpful.

It's best to keep a lateral high
Maintaining a positive mindset is important for personal growth and success.

If you're feelin' inferior, hey
Feeling inferior can be detrimental to self-esteem and personal growth.

Make yourself superior
Working to better oneself can lead to increased confidence and self-worth.

If you practice, baby, all the time
Consistent effort and practice can lead to personal growth and success.

No one can think what's on your mind
Personal thoughts and ideas are unique to each individual.

Tossin' and fightin' all the time
Constant turmoil and fighting can lead to a negative and unproductive life.

Do you really want some peace of mind? Yeah
Seeking peace and tranquility can lead to a more fulfilling life and improved mental health.

Remember back as a little kid
Reflecting on positive memories from childhood can bring joy and happiness.

There was so much fun in what we did
Embracing a sense of playfulness and fun can lead to a happier and more enjoyable life.
