Every Single Soul Lyrics - Stay Human - Michael Franti

[Chorus] 

No matter where I roam 

Whoa-oh I know every single soul is poem 

Written on the back of God's hand 

Ya see Moms and Pops be copulatin' 

Plantin' seeds and pickin' weeds for another season 

Another reason for livin' another reason for givin' 

Another reason for lovin' and tryin' stay out of prison 

'cause everything in life can't be nice and 

Everything you want can't be got 

But the lessons on patient be causing the pressure to rise 

And make some people suicidal 

Oh no! another soul, has lost control 

We pull him back into the fold 

He got strung out on the material 

All the superficial initials upon his clothes 

They make me wanna go Sprewell 

Every time I see my family locked in jail 

Uh-huh, the economical can be demonical 

Keep love in your soul 

[Chorus] 

Ya see people are so beautiful in love 

That's why I'm reminded of life's precious moments every time 

I see lovers walkin' by in the park 

Close my eyes and I stop reminisce 

To see a little baby suckin' on his mama's 

Milk-ey silky smoothness of a lovin' caress holdin' baby to breast 

And blessin' the world with another to test, test, test 

Oh-yes, oh-yes Bom-bom! 

I'd like to sing a little song 

Dedicated to the people who would like to sing along 

'cause every little song has little beats and notes 

Like every little lake has little trees and boats 

All people deserve a safe and warm home 

'cause every single soul is a poem 

[Chorus] 

Right from the start in a world torn apart 

A baby's love leaves finger prints upon the heart 

So many think it, but never say it 

"why bring a child to this planet full of hatred?" 

They might not make it like the youngest departed 

Or worst of all they might become a part of it 

Involved in it, perpetuating violence, violence 

And growing up in silence 

Seein' things they don't know how to deal with 

And learnin' ways, to try to cope with it 

Cope with it, cope with it 

And not lose hope 

[Chorus]
