Love Will Find a Way Lyrics


Til I'm gone away
this is what I'll say
this what I'll say
x 4This is a song for all kinds of people
All of the cities and all of the streets yo
The synagogue and the mosque and the steeple
the battle between the good and the evil
some shoot bullets
some shoot needles
some are trying to get by with the legals
getting trapped behind the concrete walls
some are trying just to get equalCould you ever
could you ever
give more today?
Could you
give a little
give a little
to help love find a way?And when you're feeling like you can't go on

Love Will Find a Way
and through the clouds and smoke and guns and bombs
Love Will Find a Way
and when the whole world falls on their knees to pray
that love will win today
Just keep holding on, holding on
Cause love will find a wayTil I'm gone awaythis is what I'll say
this what I'll say
x 4Yo nobody's born hating another person
A mad world puts that poison in us
But if we can learn to hate another person
then we can learn to love a brother or sister
another mother or mister
Don't be part of the system
Join the universal nation
Communication
communication
in every nation
worldwide
worldwideCould you ever,
could you ever,
give more today?
Could you,
give a little,
give a little
to help love find a way?And when you're feeling like you can't go on
Love Will Find a Wayand though the clouds and smoke and guns and bombs
Love Will Find a Way
and when the whole world falls on their knees to pray
that love will win today
Just keep holding on, holding on
Cause love will find a wayTil I'm gone awaythis is what I'll say
this what I'll say
x 6Every man woman and child
every color every nation every style
To create
to liberate
and to celebrate
not to hate

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
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/.
