You say what you want to say Your diamonds are drops of rain Your smile is your credit card And your currency is your love. And the morning is for you And the air is free And the birds sing for you And your positivity. You play where you want to play On the main streets where the creeps all prey And you can feel like you're in dynasty You could be what you want to be. And the morning is for you And the air is free And the birds sing for you And your positivity. And the cars crash for you And the sunshine is free And the sirens call you. Yes, the morning is for you Yes, the air is free Yes, the world spins for you And your positivity. Positivity.
