Summertime Is in Our Hands Lyrics


Summertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine
Feel the rains falling from above
And wash away the pain of my years gone byBecause I believe what I believe and I believe we can
Because I believe what I believe and I believe
That Summertime is in our hands
Yeah hands, yeah hands, yeah
Summertime is in our handsYou're a shy girl but you know how to rock and roll
Oh, oh
So slide on over here, baby, and rock all over my soulBecause I believe what I believe and I believe we can
Because I believe what I believe and I believe
That Summertime is in our hands
Yeah hands, yeah hands, yeah
Summertime is in our hands, yeah, hands, yeahI see you shakin' it, shakin' it, shakin' it, shakin' it, shakin' it like you mean it
And there's no in between, you got to live it to the limit and I
Come feel the vibes of the Soulrocker jive
Take a motorcycle ride, into the water we will dive
Just me and you and you and me

The sun is in our eyes, call it solar energy
It's just me and you and you and me
Together, forever, whateverBecause I believe what I believe and I believe we can
Because I believe what I believe and I believe
That Summertime is in our hands
Yeah hands, yeah hands, yeah
Summertime is in our hands,
Yeah, hands, yeah, hands, yeah
Summertime is in our hands, yeah, oh, oh, ohSummertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine
Feel the rains falling from above
And washin' away the pain of the my years gone byBecause I believe yes I believe and I believe we can
Because I believe what I believe and I believe
That Summertime is in our hands
Yeah hands, yeah hands, yeah
Summertime is in our hands, yeah, hands,
Yeah hands, yeah and we say!Summertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine!
Summertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine!
Summertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine!
Summertime is always on my mind
Even in the winter I want the sunshine!

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/.
