Stay Positive
Through the Roots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so complicated it seems
Making others happy not following your dreams
Stay true to your self, do what you like and don't do nothin' else
Oh it is so hard to choose, yea what you want to do
Just tryin' to stay sane and do things the right way

Stay positive and don't let this life get you down
Stay positive and yes the love will be found
Stay positive said come on spread the lovin' around
Stay positive said listen to the irie sound

Just follow your heart, that's all you've got to do
Oh and in due time, I said now you yea you will make it through
Just follow your dreams, Surround your self with positive things
And lift off the grey, to help to brighten up your day

Stay positive and don't let this life get you down
Stay positive and yes the love will be found
Stay positive and come on spread the lovin' around
Stay positive and listen to the irie sound

Stay positive and don't let this life get you down
Stay positive and yes the love will be found




Stay positive and come on spread the lovin' around
Stay positive and listen to the irie sound
