The Sound of Sunshine
What is the sound of sunshine?
To me, it’s a feeling, that feeling when I am so thankful to be alive;
It’s that feeling of uncontrollable bliss.
The sound of sunshine is wakin’ up and seeing a new day where everything is possible.
It’s the beauty of nature, peace between nations, and love for strangers.
It’s hope for a better day, hope for the lost, and hope for those who need some love.
The sound of sunshine is being surrounded by those we love and by those who need love.
It’s the sound I hear when children are singing and playing with no care in the world.
Thank You
Perhaps two years I was listening to National Public Radio
when I heard Michael Franti and Spearhead for the first time.
The song was Hello Bonjour, and it held me in the driveway
long after I had shut off my truck's engine.
The words touched my heart
and I came into the house with my face still wet with tears.
Soon after, a friend had seen the band in Clearwater (at Ruth Eckerd Hall),
and she posted some Spearhead videos on facebook.
I recognised the sound and was thrilled.
I promised myself a Spearhead show.
