Lyrics Esperanza Spalding

Esperanza Spalding

Radio Song

La la la la la la la la...

Right now you need it, driving yourself through the hard times

Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on

(La la la la la la la la)

But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn,

(La la la la la la la la)

Well somehow he feels it and the DJ here at the station

Sends sweet salvation, when he starts to play this song

Now you can't help singin' along, even though you never heard it

You keep singin' it wrong

This song will keep you grooving

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

(Soon as you hear it)

Words are speaking through you

(As if they knew you)

Ooh, this song's the one

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

Words are speaking through you

Ooh, this song's the one

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

(Soon as you hear it)

Words are speaking through you

(As if they knew you)

Yes, this song's the one

Even though you never heard it

You keep singing it wrong, this song's the one

And then they start mixing it up

When you're tired and scared of missing something

Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better

Enter that song

Now that's how we know the power of song can save

When you're tired and scared of missing something

Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better

Enter that song

Now that's how we know the power of song can save

A song can save

Well it can surely save the day and keep you grooving

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

Words are speaking through you

Yes, this song's the one

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

(Soon as you hear it)

Words are speaking through you

(As if they knew you)

Yes, this song's the one

La la la la la la la la...

Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over

So you pull over, and start scrambling for a pen

But another comes in again

Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin'

Your skin starts bristlin', here comes the part you know

And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it

And you keep singing it wrong

This song will keep you grooving

(Can't stop it moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

(Soon as you hear it)

The words are speaking through you

(As if they knew you)

Ooh, this song's the one

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

When the words are speaking through you

Ooh, this song's the one

(You gotta make moving)

Play it to lift your spirits

(Soon as you hear it)

Words are speaking through you

(As if they knew you)

Yes, this song's the one

Yes, this song's the one

Now if you want to

Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart

(Play it to lift your spirits)

Because you like to, because you need to

This song's the one

Now if you want to

Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart

Because you like to, because you need to
