The Sound Of Sunshine Lyrics


I wake up in the morning, it's 6 o'clock
They say there may be rain but the sun is hot
I wish I had some time just to kill today
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to paySome days you lose, you win
And the waters as high as the times you're in
So I jump back into where I learned to swim
Try to keep my head above it as best I canThat's why
Here I am just waiting for this storm to pass me by
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming downI saw my friend, Bobby, he said "What's up man?
You gotta little work or a twenty to lend?"
I opened up my hand, he said, "I'm glad to see
They can take away my job but not my friends, you see"And here I am
Just waiting for this storm to pass me by
And that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming downYo, yo, here we go
I want to go where the summer never ends
With my guitar on the beach, there with all my friends

The sun so hot and the waves in motion
And everything smells like suntan lotionThe ocean and the girls so sweet
So kick off your shoes and relax your feet
They say that miracles are never ceasing
And every single soul needs a little releasing
The stereo bumping 'til the sun goes down
And I only want to hear that soundAnd that's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming downAnd now say, you're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes downSing, you're the one I want to be with
When the sun goes down
You're the one I want to be with
When the sun goesThat's the sound of sunshine coming down
And that's the sound of sunshine coming downWhen the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down

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/.
