I Got Love for You Lyrics


Another morning has come and the sun is high
But I know that today is the day that I might cry
Because I know you're going
And I know you're leaving
To somewhere you hope to find
The peace of mind you're seekingIn the back of a Greyhound bus, it'll take you far
In the back of a Greyhound bus, you can be who you areAnd I say
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la la
I got love for you
I got love for youSo I'll be waiting, my dear, u-huh
Waiting right here, u-huh
Waiting, my dear, u-huh
Waiting right here, u-huhI remember the time back when we was home
In and out, up and down, in this life, what a crazy road
It's been a long time that I shoulda said what I tell now
That I got faith in you and I believe in youIn the dark of the night in the hotel when you're alone
In the middle of the city where nobody cares to know
On the top of the town in the glimmer of the shining lights

You just shine on now, you just shine on nowAnd I say
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la la
I got love for you
I got love for youSo I'll be waiting, my dear, u-huh
Waiting right here, u-huh
Waiting right here, u-huhAnd I've got love for you, love for you, love for youAnd I know that you can't say for sure
When you're coming home
But I got faith in you and I believe in youAnd I say
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la la
I got love for you
I got love for youAnother evening's come and the moon is high
But I know that tonight is the night that I might cry
Because I know you're going
And I know you're leaving
To somewhere you hope to find
The peace of mind you're seekingIn the back of a Greyhound bus, it'll take you far
In the back of a Greyhound bus, you can be who you are

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/.
