Michael Franti & Spearhead - Little Things Lyrics

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 it's worth more than any diamond ring
Cause in this great big world it's 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 it's 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 it's 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
