Soulshine

[Mitch]

The world around
gotcha down
you got high blood pressure people pushin' you around
and some wanna tell you how you should behave
cut your hair the right way, tell you what to say, hang
out with the right folks
become a fashion slave

But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free

Take ya time
unwind ya mind
we all need a little soulshine
take ya time
unwind ya mind
we could use a little soulshine

9 to 5, people tryin' a stay alive
hard livin' in the city
find a diamond in the sewer but the gas bills rise
but I got to say to them what's it all mean
ya got to take a loan
to pay the bill on the phone
educated, graduated but you can't get a job

But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free.

Take ya time
unwind ya mind
we all need a little soulshine
take ya time
unwind ya mind
we could use a little soulshine

(Michael Franti, Stay Human, 2001 - it's a cd, its nice soulshine stuff!)

That's brilliant Mitch! Just what I needed to hear at this time

[Mitch]

I ain't no believer as a few friends know round these 'ere parts ;D and I am doomed to hell-fire (where I should feel very comfortable - eeek, titter)

Some of my closest friends believe in God (including my man), and they are Soulshine people.

Here's one for a Soulshine person in our community - Sally - but I can't say why, I am sworn to 'mums the word'.

To Sal:

"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.

No matter where I roam
whoa-oh I know every single soul is a poem
written on the back of God's hand". ;D

WHY NOT DEDICATE A POEM TO YOUR SOULSHINE PERSON IN THIS THREAD.
