Michael Franti & Spearhead

Little Things

I remember when a bar fight used to be a fist fight

But that's alright it never ended in a gun fight

Maybe a bruise or two

But I'd still have a brew with you

It never made the news

Damn, now we're singing the blues

I remember when a concert

Was the funnest thing we ever did

Nobody running for the exit

We were high on life, shining bright, feeling alright

Man, we gotta bring that back

You know that it don't cost a dime, just to spend a little extra time

To throw a little smile at somebody passing by you

And you know love don't cost a thing, but its worth more than any diamond ring

Cause in this great big world its the little things

Every day that you're living, all the love that you're giving

In this great big world it's the little things

Make every breath that you breathe stand up for what you believe in

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

In this great big world it's the little things

I'm through, everybody got nukes now

Running round with weapons like kooks now

And we could use a little increase

On peace from Florida to the middle east

And get veterans off the streets

And make sure everybody eats at least

Cause everybody's got a place

In the human race

You know that it don't cost a dime

Just to spend a little extra time

To throw a little smile at somebody passing by you

And you know love don't cost a thing,

But it's worth more than any diamond ring

Cause in this great big world its the little things

Every day that you're living, all the love that you're giving

In this great big world it's the little things

Make every breath that you breathe stand up for what you believe in

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

In this great big world it's the little things

Y'all we need pride, world-wide

In the vision that everybody stays alive

I know it sounds simplified

But it's true and its time that we realize

That the little things

Are what keep us alive

So I still got faith

In the human race

Every day that you're living, all the love that you're giving,

In this great big world it's the little things

Make every breath that you breathe stand up for what you believe in

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,

In this great big world it's the little things

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh,

In this great big world it's the little things
