This blog is in serious need of some love.  I just don’t seem to be able to get to it at the moment so here is a bit of love from Michael Franti.  Nina is really into the album “sound of sunshine” at the moment and I am really loving dancing along to it with her.  I think the song “Hey Hey Hey” is gold.  Here are some of the great lyrics:

“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?

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

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”
