BRIGHT SIDE

​​​

I was looking for a bright side, mama

Ever since about the day I was born

Always headed for a bright light

Wondering what it might have in store

Through the dark of the dead-end roads

And the people who were not what they seemed

Left myself alone again with me

 

And I was looking for a bright side, mama

When you took me in and set me down slow

You calmed my nerves, eased my mind

And you hit me with the healing

You showed me what the real thing is

 

Bright lights are blinding

And I need reminding

That my light shines brightest

When I see the bright side of you

 

I was looking for a way out of the maze

And those crazy days

Hung around long enough to peek out of the shade

Without changing my ways

I’m a champion, a prize-fight lover

And I’m covered up with wounds from the war

But I’m yours if you want me

I’m yours

 

And I was looking for a bright side, mama

When you took me in and set me down slow

You calmed my nerves, eased my mind

And you hit me with the healing

You show me what the real thing is

 

Bright lights are blinding

And I need reminding

That my light shines brightest

When I see the bright side of you

 

Your eyes get blinded

Trying too hard to find it

And I get excited

When I see the bright side

When I see the bright side of you

When I see the bright side of you
