Lyrics Michael Franti & Spearhead – Once A Day

Yeah,
Uh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah,
Uh huh! Yo! Yo! Yo!
Here we are!

Yo
No no no no, you never know what the world is gonna show you,
It ain’t up to you
You always think it’s gonna happen to another person
And it’s never ever gonna happen to you
You got your friends, you got your money
Got your family, got your honey
You think you got a million days
But then life comes along and it knocks you right down to the ground
And that’s why I say that

Everybody ought to hug somebody at least once a day
And everybody ought to kiss somebody at least once a day
Everybody’s gonna miss somebody at least once a day
And everybody gotta love somebody everyday

And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up!

I heard the purpose of life’s to live a life full of purpose
And so don’t ever take for granted what the spirit has given you
In the first verse
You might never get a second verse
This ain’t rehearsal, you can’t put it in reverse
So just believe in yourself
Don’t let nobody bein’ negative, tell you what to do
Cause I know (cause I know)
In this sweet sweet life
That just this much is true
Ay ay ay

Everybody ought to hug somebody at least once a day
And everybody ought to kiss somebody at least once a day
Everybody’s gonna miss somebody at least once a day
And everybody gotta love somebody everyday

And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Spread your wings and fly)
And we all will rise up!

Sonna Rele:
So don’t you worry bout what people say
Raise your head up and be on your way
And it don’t matter if you fall today
Just get up, get up, get up, get up

We rise up! (Hey)
We rise up! (Hey)
We ri-i-i-i-ise! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We rise up! (Hey)
We rise up! (Hey)
We ri-i-i-i-ise!

Everybody ought to hug somebody at least once a day
And everybody ought to kiss somebody at least once a day
Everybody’s gonna miss somebody at least once a day
And everybody gotta love somebody everyday

And we all will rise up! (Rise up)
And we all will rise up! (Yeah)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up! (Come on, fly)
And we all will rise up! (Rise up)
And we all will rise up! (We gonna rise)
And we all will rise up!
And we all will rise up!
