Michael Franti & Spearhead - Hey Hey Hey lyrics

rate me

It's been a long time coming that I had to say

When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray

For some guidance and protection on the streets today

And an answer to the questions I ask everyday

So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here

Tell me why do they come to die here?

And all the kids that used to run here

Tell me why do they load their guns here?

I remember in the days when

We were one heart, no need to defend

I just wrap my arms around you

Don't give up, this song is for you

Hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on

I hold on, hold on, hold on

From the tops of the buildings to the streets below

Between the Wall Street banks and the empty homes

Between the lines of the people standing all in a row

There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows

Reminding me that everything is possible

Yeah, reminding me that nothing is impossible

You gotta live for the one that you love you know

You gotta love for the life that you live you know

Singing hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I'll sing hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on

Until the morning comes again

I will remain with you my friend

And we will ride until the sun

Goes to the place where it begun

And we will live to laugh and cry another day

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done

Don't let nobody ever tell you that we couldn't be one

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung

Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one

Singing hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, I hold on

Whoa, oh, oh, oh

I'm just trying to hold on

Trying to hold on

Trying to hold on

I say hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I say hey, hey, hey

No matter how life is today

There's just one thing that I got to say

I won't let another moment slip away

I hold on, I'm trying to hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
