Once a Day (feat. Sonna Rele) Lyrics


Here we are
Become number one, number one worldwide
Number one worldwide
Ah ah ah ah
This one's dedicated to all the soul rockers out there
Number one, number one worldwideYo
No no no no you never know what the world's gonna show you
It ain't up to you
You always think it's gonna happen to another person
And it's never ever gonna happen to you
You got your friends, you got your money
Got your family, got your honey
You think you got a million days
But then life comes along
And it knocks you right down to the ground and that's why I sayEverybody oughta hug somebody, at least once a day
And everybody oughta kiss somebody, at least once a day
Everybody's gonna miss somebody, at least once a day
And everybody gotta love somebody, every dayAnd we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)

And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise upI heard the purpose of life's to live a life full of purpose
And so don't ever take for granted what the spirit has given you
In the first verse
You might never get a second verse
This ain't a rehearsal, you can't put it in reverse
Believe in yourself, don't let nobody be a negative
Or tell you what to do
'Cause I know ('cause I know)
In this sweet, sweet life that just this much is trueEverybody oughta hug somebody, at least once a day (once a day)
And everybody oughta kiss somebody, at least once a day (uh huh)
Everybody gonna miss somebody, at least once a day (yo, yo)
And everybody gotta love somebody, every dayAnd we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up
And we all will rise up (spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise upSo don't you worry bout what people say
Raise your head up and be on your way
And it don't matter if you fall today

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/.
