Michael Franti & Spearhead Album

one two three, uhuh

i wake up in the morning its six o'clock
they say there may be rain but the sun is hot
i wish i had some time just to kill today
and i wish i had a dime for every bill i've got to pay
some days you lose you win
and the water's as high as the times your in
so i just back in there where i learned to swim
try to keep my head above it the best i can
that's why,

here i am, waiting for this storm to pass my by
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down

one two three, uhuh

i saw my friend bobby i said "what's up man"
you got a little work or twenty to lend
i opened up my hand he said "i'm glad to see
they can take away my job but not my friends"

here i am, waiting for the storm to pass my by
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down

i wanna go where the summer never ends
with my guitar on the beach there with all my friends
the suns so hot and the waves in motion
and everything smells like sun tan lotion
the ocean, and the girls so sweet
so kick off your shoes and relax your feet
they say that miracles are never seizing
and every single soul needs a little releasing
the sterio bumpin till the sun goes down
and i only wanna hear that sound

that's the sound of sunshine coming down
that's the sound of sunshine coming down

i said you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down
i said you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down
singin you're the one i wanna be with
when the sun goes down

that's the sound of sunshine coming down
that's the sound of sunshine coming down

You got a little broken nail, got a hair outta place
You got a little bit of extra middle right around the waist
With all of them things I never ever hesitate
Cuz the thing about you baby is the smile on your face

And I love the way you love me, never gettin enough
I love the way you shake that little extra bit of butter
When I see you move your body, girl it makes my heart a flutter
When I see you dancin on the living room floor, on the kitchen table
Better open up the door
Bring the party to the street because the street will love it more
And if the people love the beat, then the beat will love them more
With the music blastin, the people clappin, the speakers shakin, the kids’ll take it

It's been a long time coming that I had to say
When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray
For some guidance and protection on the streets today
And an answer to the questions I ask everyday

So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here
Tell me why do they come to die here?
And all the kids that used to run here
Tell me why do they load their guns here?

I remember in the days when
We were one heart, no need to defend
I just wrap my arms around you
Don't give up, this song is for you

Hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on
I hold on, hold on, hold on

From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes
Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows

Reminding me that everything is possible
Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible
You gotta live for the one that you love you know
You gotta love for the life that you live you know

Singing hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I'll sing hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on
I hold on, I'm trying to hold on

Until the morning comes again
I will remain with you my friend
And we will ride until the sun
Goes to the place where it begun
And we will live to laugh and cry another day

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done
Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one
Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung
Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one

Singing hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

I'm just trying to hold on
Trying to hold on
Trying to hold on

I say hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey
No matter how life is today
There's just one thing that I got to say
I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

The best things in life are things
To live in, to breathe in
The best things in life are things
That something you can believe in

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
And soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

The best things in life are things
The laughing and crying
The best things in life are things
The frightened, they're still fighting

Do you believe me?
Do you believe me, yeah, when I say
Tonight won't last for long?
Soon it will be gone

But I won't leave you alone, no, no
Whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

You said that you were leaving
But it's alright, it's alright
You said sorry
But it's alright, yes, it's alright

The best things in life are things
Broken and bleeding
The best things in life are things
They're chosen to believe in

So whenever you call me, whenever you need me
Wherever you wander until you see me
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting for you
For you, for you, for you

And I say, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh
Eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh, eeoh

I say it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, it's gonna be alright now

I was rocking like a lonely man
Drifting off the seas
And you came along
And you threw a line to me, to me

But how was I to know
When I thought I had it all along
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
You, you, you, you, you

I've been waiting all along for a woman like you
To come along and bring the sunshine to my blues
Wake me in the morning with a kiss upon my cheek
And when we're making love, we make it so unique

You have my vote with the shake of your thighs
My whole world changed from one look in your eye
It's been a long time but now I realize

The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
(You, you, you, you, you)
The only thing missing was you

Many moons have passed
And I'm still here at sea
And I'm searching for one island in the stars
The size of you and me, you and me

How was I to know
When I thought I had it all along
The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you

The only thing missing was you
The only thing missing was you
(You, you, you, you, you)
The only thing missing was you

I've been waiting all along for a woman like you
(Only thing missing was you)
Woman like you, woman, woman like you
(The only thing missing was you)

I've been waiting all along for a woman like you
Like you, like you
Waiting all along for a woman like you
(Come back, please)
Woman like you, woman, woman like you, like you

When many little people in many little places
Do many little things, then the whole world changes
But sometimes not fast enough for me

You see I'm just a little man, trying hard to understand
What kind of living is a life if I can't stand on my own two feet

You see we are looking for the same thing
And we are trying to survive
But I know each day in life don't get much easier than the last
So today I'm just glad to be alive

And I'm singing
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, stay by my side
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, I'm glad to be alive
Glad to be alive

I think that life is a blessing
And every step, every lesson
You want for love and protection
To those in me

To all my mothers and fathers
And all the angels and saints
I'm so glad to be alive

Seems like there's never enough time to do the things I wanna do
And it never ends
But at the end of the day I might not have no money to count or spend
But I know I can count on all my friends

And you call on me
See we are looking for the same thing
And we are trying to survive
And I know each day in life with you gets better than the last
So today I'm just glad to be alive

And I'm singing
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, stay by my side
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, I'm glad to be alive
Glad to be alive

I'm just trying to find a way to say
I'm just trying to find a way to say
Don't you ever, ever, ever go away

When many little people in many little places
Do many little things, then the whole world changes
But I just want you next to me

And I'm singing
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, stay by my side
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, I'm glad to be alive
Glad to be alive

Singing
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, stay by my side
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, I'm glad to be alive

I'm glad to be alive
I'm glad to be alive

Plug your headphones straight into my heart
'Cause I want you to know what I'm talking about
I've been your solo lover now for quite a while
You've been my heaven sent angel and you make me smile

I know I'm complicated like a spray painted maze
But I hope we can learn to whether or to stay

So I'm singing
Please, don't go breaking my heart
I only have one, I only have one
Don't go breaking

Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones

Plug your headphones, baby, into my sound
I know I'm not always easiest to be around
But I try and I try to keep up with your beat
You turn my drum machine on, the way you move your hip

You make me feel alright in the middle of the night
When I'm tossing and turning, you're holding me tight

I'm singing
Please, don't go breaking my heart
I only have one, I only have one
Don't go breaking

Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart

So plug your headphones, baby, into my heart
'Cause I want you to know what I've been talking about
You've been my heaven sent angel, now for quite a while
Make me laugh, make me cry and you been making me smile

I'm singing
Please, don't go breaking my heart
I only have one, I only have one, one, one
Don't go breaking

Plug your headphones straight into my heart
Plug your headphones straight into my heart

My heart is a loving heart
My heart is a loving heart
My heart is a loving heart
My heart is a loving heart

I wake up in the morning and it's 6 a clock.
They say there may be rain but the sun is hot.
I wish I had some just to kill today,
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I had to pay.

Some days you lose you win and the waters as high as the times your in.
So I jump back into where I learned to swim.
Try to keep my head above it as best I can.
That's why;

Here I am,
Just waiting on this storm to pass me by.
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
and that's the sound of sunshine coming down...

(Aye, aye, ayeehey...)

I saw my friend Bobby he said "What's up man?"
You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?
I opened up my hand
He said I'm glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends you see.
And here I am just waiting for this storm to pass me by.

And that's the sound of sunshinen coming down
And that's the sound of sunsbhine coming down

(Here we go)

I want to go where the sun will never end
With my guitar on the beach there with all my friend.
The sun so hot and the waves in motion and everything smells like suntan lotion, the ocean, and the girls so sweet
So kick of your shoes and relax your feet
They say that miracles are never ceasin', and every single soul needs a little realeasin'
the stereo bumpin till the sun goes down, and I only want to hear that sound

And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

And now say
You're the one I want to be with, when the sun goes down.
You're the one I want to be with, when t esun goes down

Sing;
You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes down.
You're the one I want to be with when the sun goes

That's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down

(Aye, aye aye, Ha, aye aye)
