Please do a concert with Matisyahu! You guys together would be amazing! I have seen both of you in concert! I saw you with John Mayer in Vegas, and Then I saw you Nashville!! Thank you for being a light in the darkness of the world!
Michael, I have to admit that I had never heard your music before until I heard "Sound of Sunshine". It's just so hard to believe that more people don't listen to your music. I find your music to be so inspirational and I've been sharing it (your videos) on my site. Please, keep bringing us more music and here's hoping you can bring us a live album soon. You really are an inspirational singer. God bless you for your music.
Michael (and his wife) are an inspiration... messages of love and healing and the reality of struggle of what it is to be human .... so grateful for this man's authenticity, pouring his heart into music that has united so many of us. When I first listened to his music the word that came to mind was hope......There are so many things I hope for, world peace, the end of famine, oppression, slavery, poverty, stigmatizing marginalized populations, suffering, hating eachother for our differences... The suffering and violence on this planet is so overwhelming...
Those of us who so desperately want to make a difference feel small compared to the work that must be done for real and lasting change to take place.. but Michael reminds me to have faith that no matter how small my best intended actions may be they can make a world of difference to someone else. All of us collectively acting from love and kindness can and do change the world.
So really this music is about faith for me. This is my church, right here. Thank you Michael Franti, for shining your bright light in the world, and reminding all of us to do the same.
Love to you all.
I can't find enough words to say how much it means to find so many like-minded, Kinspirits.. my heart is so full 💓 ONE LOVE
I passed by you at Sages and Scientists and I gotta say .. You looked like a mountain to me. God Bless You And Yours Brother xx
Michael, you always have the right words when we need them! We need to make this song number one!
You have given me hope for years….thank you and your lovely family!!!!❤

Michael, you raise my spirits like no one else. Thank you 💗
What a Beautiful description. Thank you for being you, Michael🙏🎵👌.
Really great lyrics, too true, but good to be alive regardless of stated problems, agree!
I had a young kid sing this song to a group of us yesterday. Ofcourse his version was a little different. But just as touching.
sounds righteous brother

I love you Michael Franti you have an amazing soul when im sad when I listen to your music it is so uplifting and joyful it just makes my life better!!

GRACIAS POR TODO ESTE AMOR :-D

dope
It's a long road, oh
Everyday I wake up and turn my phone on
I read the news of the day, just as it's coming down
I do my best not to let it get me down
I try to keep my head up, but is Babylon
This world's in crisis, we try to fight it, this changing climate
With scientists and politicians divided by it
So many ways we could solve it but they would never sign it
This mountains tumbling down, but still we try to climb it
It's in the Torah, Quran and in the Bible
Love is the message for some how we turn to rivals
It's come to people always picking up their rifles
Another school getting shot up homicidal
Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high
Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by
And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times
We all looking for the same thing
But what if this song's number one
Would it mean that love had won?
Would it mean that the world was saved?
And no guns are being drawn today?
What if everybody had a job?
And nobody had to break a law?
What if everyone could say
That it's good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
No matter what nobody say
People used to feel safer when they would hear a siren
Like help is on its way but now they only think of violence
Another youth in the streets and police is in a conflict
And now they hear the guns click, yo
Ebola crisis and ISIS is taking heads off
A drone is bombing a village and now the kids all
Signing up to be soldiers, but they all willing now
To do the killing now, now are you willing now?
Some politicians out there making up some problems
And tryna tell the people that they can solve them
With TV shows and soundbites and quotes
But everybody knows that it's all about the cash flow
They telling you and me, they're making progress
But tell it to the millions of jobless
It's like a players club with billions of dollars
To get the votes you got to make it rain in congress
Some people tryna look fly, some people tryna get high
Some people losing their mind, some people tryna get by
And when you look in my eyes, you see the sign of the times
We all looking for the same thing
But what if this song's number one
Would it mean that love had won?
Would it mean that the world was saved?
And no guns are being drawn today?
What if everybody had a job?
And nobody had to break a law?
What if everyone could say
That it's good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
And we all say
One day, one day
One day, one day
One day, we all will say
That it's good to be alive today
One day, one day
One day, one day
One day, we all will say
That it's good to be alive today
