Stay positiveWhen everything around you
Is crumbling down
And you feel as if you’re
Ready to drown

Oh, when it’s all falling apart
And oh
The world is breaking your heart
Take, a, deep, breath
Retrace your steps
Then take it back
Back to the start

When the world seems as if
It comes to an end
And you’re not sure
You’ll see your loved ones again

Have hope it’ll be okay
Stay positive

Then take it back
Back to the start

I know things go
Terribly wrong sometimes

[CALYPSO]
But there’s no use in getting down
Turn that frown upside down and
Wear your crown

[ALL]
You can rule the world if you believe

[CALYPSO]
Stay positive
And you can do most anything
When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade
