Is Love Enough (feat. Gentleman) Lyrics


We want freedom of speech
But we all talking at the same time
We say we want peace
but nobody wants to change their own mindAnd it goes on and on and on
For a thousand year
And it goes on and on and on
What language are your tearsEverybody wants to live the life of kings and queens
But nobody wants to stay and plow the fields
Everybody wants to tell thier neighbors how to live
But nobody wants to listen to how they feelAnd it goes on and on and on
For a thousand year
And it goes on and on and on
What language are your tearsBut what I got to say one more time is
Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
Or could you love some more
Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
Or could you love some more
Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah

Or could you love some more
Is it Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah, Love enough yeah
Oh tell you could you love some moreAnd it goes on and on and on
For a thousand year
And it goes on and on and on
What language are your tearsWhat language are you tears
What language is your laughter
What language is your sadness
What language is your joyIt goes on and on and on
for a thousand years
And it goes on and on and on
What language are your tears

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/.
