Have a Little Faith Lyrics


I know it's hard when you're down
And the bad times seem to follow you around
And you got no reason to show
Don't let it go, oh noAnd when it's 3 in the morn
And you've told your whole life story to a telephone
And the radio's the only thing to let you know
You're not alone, oh, noJust have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go, oh noAnd I wish I was there
Just to run my own fingers through
Your worries and cares
Even though I fumble and fall
Don't let it go, oh, noAnd when the rain falls down
You know the flowers are gonna bloom
And when the hard times come
You know the teacher's in the room
And when the sun comes up

You know that I'll be there for you
Don't let it go, oh noJust have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go, oh noJust have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go, don't let it go
Don't let it go, don't let it go
Don't let it goJust be strong for me, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for me, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for me, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for meDon't let it go, don't let it go
Don't let it go, don't let it go
Don't let it go, oh, don't let it go
Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it go
Don't let it go

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/.
