Positive Affirmations for School Song Lyrics

Yeah! Let’s get that positive talk going.
Say it with me, I can do this!

I wake up ready. I start my day.
I tell myself I’ll find my way.
I take a breath. I stand up tall.
Even if I trip, I don’t fall.
I keep on trying. I learn and grow.
Step by step that’s how I go.
I’m not perfect, but that’s okay.
I get a little better every day.

Chorus
I talk myself up, yeah I can.
I believe in me, I’ve got a plan.
When it’s hard, I won’t give in.
I try again, I try again.
I talk myself up, yeah it’s true.
There’s nothing I can’t learn to do.
When I speak with hope and pride,
I feel that power deep inside.

Verse 2
Sometimes things don’t go my way.
But I still show up, I don’t run away.
I can be kind. I can be strong.
Even when it takes me long.
I use my words. I take my time.
I stay cool, keep my mind in line.
Each small win, I clap for me.
That’s how I build my energy.

Chorus
I talk myself up, yeah I can.
I believe in me, I’ve got a plan.
When it’s hard, I won’t give in.
I try again, I try again.
I talk myself up, yeah it’s true.
There’s nothing I can’t learn to do.
When I speak with hope and pride,
I feel that power deep inside.

Bridge
Words have power, say them clear.
Positive thoughts are what we steer.
I am strong, I am smart.
That’s the way a great day starts.

Final Chorus
I talk myself up, yes I will.
I’m learning, growing, building skill.
Each kind word helps me shine.
I’ve got courage in my mind.
