[Verse 1]
Poa! That sun is hot!
Gotta keep movin', long way to walk
Can't see shelter, I've looked a lot
No time to waste, no place to stop
'Cause one thing, hard way, I've learned
If I'm out in the sun too long I get burned
Loving every bit of this welcome breeze
But what I need is shade and trees
But it's okay and it's all right
I'll push it along 'til Pride Lands in sight
Need a break, take a rest real soon
'Til then, I'll be singing this tune

[Chorus]
Gotta look on the bright side!
That shining sun will never get me down
Gotta look on the bright side!
A happy song will help me get around

[Verse 2]
Floodplains would be great right now!
How about a cloud so rain come down?
Even a shadow that'll hit the ground
Not a place that's to be found
Wait a minute, think I found the place
Great rock space, I can take a break
Love the scenery, I mean to say
But gotta stay safe while I'm on my way

[Chorus]
Gotta look on the bright side!
The long way home has lots of things to see
Gotta look on the bright side!
Spirits high is how I'll always be

[Verse 3]
Phew! Now that hit the spot!
Catch my breath, rest, and cool off
Stretch my legs, step I can't stop
Home on my mind, time to move on
Pride Lands bound, be home with ease
Love that sun but love shade and trees
Back real soon, had time to breathe
Found that shelter, no burns for me!

[Chorus]
Gotta look on the bright side!
(Whoo-oo!)
That shining sun will never get me down (Hey! Hey)
Gotta look on the bright side!
(Whoo-oo!)
A happy song will help me get around (Hey! Hey!)
Gotta look on the bright side!
(Whoo-oo!)
The long way home has lots of things to see (Hey! Hey!)
Gotta look on the bright side!
(Whoo-oo!)
Spirits high is how I'll always be!
