Earth From Outer Space (feat. K'naan) Lyrics


If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
no matter where I go I still come back to you.If I could fly, fly, fly, so high, so high.
Higher than the clouds, even higher than the sky.
Zoom, zoom, and in the palm and world rollin by.
Would I see people in the cities and the villages and squares,
sellin in the market places, dancin everywhere?
Would I see ladies in the beauty parlor doin hair,
and teenage soldiers with their guns up in the air?
Would I see a hit list of the species that are gone,
or would I be a witness to the world droppin bombs?
Would I see the rain for amazon where the whole world sing one song?If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
If I could see earth from outer space,

through all of the stars to the human race,
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
No matter where I go I still come back to you.So let me hear you say (na na na na na),
woah oh (na na na na na).
And let me hear you say (na na na na na).
Break it down for me now.Okay, I've been tryin, I've been tryin, I've been tryin, I've been tryin.
That's the truth without the lyin, I just do without the dyin.
I've been movin, I've been movin outer space so I've been losing everybody
that I love and they excuse is they just human.
And I've been learning how to breathe, learnin how to see.
Heart in the clouds, but don't know how to dream.
Evidently, your grass is green. I wish I had a personality.
If I was down on earth, I would sing..If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
No matter where I go I still come back to you.I like to see your planet, every boombox boomin.
I like to see your planet, every flower be bloomin.
I like to see your planet so the clouds refuelin.
I like to see your planet, every human stay human.
I don't know, but I know just one thing's for sure.
If I saw this, I'd still come back for more.If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
to all of the people and the streets that I once knew.
If I could see earth from outer space,
through all of the stars to the human race,
no matter where I go I still come back to you, to you.
No matter where I go I still come back to you.So let me hear you say (na na na na na),
still come back to you (na na na na na),
still come back to you.
No matter where I go (na na na na na),
still come back to you (na na na na na),
still come back to you (na na na na na),
still come back to you (na na na na na),
still come back to you.

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
