Good To Be Alive Today Lyrics - Soulrocker - Michael Franti & Spearhead

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 

The 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

Songs You Love If You Love Nerds 

HOT SONG: Cardi B - Press - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Chris Brown - Don't Check On Me Lyrics ft. Justin Bieber 

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 

Is it good to be alive today? 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Is it good to be alive today? 

Oh, oh, oh 

No matter what nobody say 

Photos 

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 

Is it good to be alive today? 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 

Is it good to be alive today? 

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
