Nobody can tell me
What it is that makes us stronger than they thought possible
Only we can look inside ourselves
And see the truth
We are what we are
And I know that will get us far
I'll say what I say, cause I know
That they can't take that away
No matter what has happened
No matter what has been said
At the end of it all
I look at things on the bright side
I won't let you bring me down
Everything lost can be found
At the end of it all
I look at things on the bright side
In the right time, in the right place
We can air our disappointments and speak of all our stupid mistakes
Until then, keep them all to yourself
And try having the time of your life
Let the light shine through the shades
Don't be consumed by a darkness easily found
Don't accept the situations you're given
And the promises that will not be kept
We are what we are
And I know that will get us far
We say what we say
Cause I know that they can't take that away
No matter what has happened
No matter what has been said
At the end of it all
I look at things on the bright side
I won't let you bring me down
Everything lost can be found
At the end of it all
I look at things on the bright side
