Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When in the midst of sorrow
You can't see up when you looking down
A brighter day tomorrow will bring
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Don't give up and don't give in
Although it seems you never win
You will always pass the test
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
