THAT IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE TODAY!
By Michael Franti & Spearhead
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 this 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 somehow we turn to rivals
It's come to people always picking up their rifles
Another school getting shot up homicidal
Some people tryna to 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 yeah..
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 yeah Ya!
That it's good to be alive today, yeah (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today yeah, (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is it good to be alive today yeah
Is it good to be alive today yeah, (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
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 tellin 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
That we all looking for the same thing yeah!
But what if this song's was number one?
Would it mean that Love had won?
Would it mean that the World was Saved?
And no bombs are being dropped today?
What if everybody had a job?
And nobody had to break a law?
What if everyone could say…yeah ya
That it's good to be alive today, yeah (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yes it is good to be alive today, yeah (oh, oh, oh, oh)
That it’s good to be alive today (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Yes it is good to be alive today yeah!!!
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!
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 bombs are being dropped 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!!!!!!
