Hey Hey Hey
Franti Michael Lyrics

It's been a long time coming that I had to say
I've been waiting a while to express my feelings

When I wake up in the morning all I do is pray
I start my day with prayer for guidance and protection

For some guidance and protection on the streets today
I need help and safety while in the streets

And an answer to the questions I ask everyday
I'm seeking answers to my daily questions

So tell me why do the birds that used to fly here
Why do the birds that were once here no longer fly?

Tell me why do they come to die here
Why do they now come here only to die?

And all the kids that used to run here
Why did the children who once ran here leave?

Tell me why did they load their guns here
Why did they feel the need to bring guns here?

I remember, in the days when,
I reminisce about a time when

We were one heart no need to defend
We used to all get along without any need for defense

I just wrap my arms around
I want to provide comfort and support

Don't give up this song is for you
Keep going, this song is dedicated to you

Hey, hey, hey, no matter how life is today
Regardless of how tough life is now

There's just one thing that I got to say
I have one message to share

I won't let another moment slip away
I won't let any more opportunities pass me by

From the tops of the buildings to the streets below
From high rises to the ground

From the Wall Street banks to the empty homes
From Wall Street to abandoned homes

Between the lines of the people standing all in a row
Among the people standing in rows

There's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows
Even in the dirtiest places, beauty can be found

Reminding me that everything is possible
Serving as a reminder that anything can be achieved

Yeah reminding me that nothing is impossible
Reaffirming that anything can be accomplished

You gotta live for the one that you love you know
Live for the person you love

You gotta love for the life that you live you know
Have love in your life

Until the morning comes again,
Until the next day begins

I will remain with you my friend
I'll stick by your side

And we will ride until the sun,
We will continue on until the end of the day

Goes to the place where it begun
When the sun sets

And we will live to laugh and cry another day
We'll keep living and experiencing life's highs and lows

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it couldn't be done
Believe that anything is possible

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

Don't let nobody ever tell you that it shouldn't be sung
Don't let anyone keep you from expressing yourself

Don't let nobody ever tell you you're the only one
Know that you're not alone

Whoa oh oh oh, I hold on
I'm holding on
