Lyrics Little Things - Michael Franti , Spearhead

It's the 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
