I believe music can inspire, give hope, make you cry, make you think, and a million other things. I want to start posting some music that I really think speak to the times we are in. As you know, I listen to everything so tune in every day, never know what you will get.
It just takes a spark to change the world. Whether it is a negative or positive spark is up to you. Let us change the world by showing kindness, giving hope, sharing faith, respecting others opinions.
For our 5th song, I picked Little Fires Everywhere by The Browns.

For our 4th song I picked a song by Fearless Soul called The Be Kind Song. I do not remember how I stumbled upon Fearless Soul about four months ago on YouTube but I subscribed to it. If you are looking for good positive songs, inspiration and motivation, you should check them out.
Choose to be kind and kindness will come back to you. Lift others up, help others. Integrity is everything. We can make this world a better place.

For our third song, I picked Be A Light by Thomas Rhett. I picked this song because there is so much negativity and darkness out there right now, you can be the light that shines through all that darkness. Be kind, be helpful, be positive.
Lyrics:
In a time full of war, be peace In a time full of doubt, just believe Yeah, there ain’t that much difference between you and me In a time full of war, be peace
In a world full of hate, be a light When you do somebody wrong, make it right Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light (La-la-la, la, la, la, la)
In a place that needs a change, make a difference In a time full of noise, just listen ‘Cause life is but a breeze, better live it In a place that needs a change, make a difference
In a world full of hate, be a light When you do somebody wrong, make it right Oh, don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la La-la-la, la, la, la, la
In a race that you can’t win, slow it down Yeah, you only get one go around ‘Cause the finish line is six feet in the ground In a race you can’t win, just slow it down
In a world full of hate, be a light (oh) When you do somebody wrong, make it right (make it right) Don’t hide in the dark (don’t hide in the dark), you were born to shine In a world full of hate, be a light
Yeah, it’s hard to live in color, when you just see black and white In a world full of hate, be a light

I chose Heaven Down Here by Mickey Guyton for our second song. We sure could use some love down here in our world that is coming apart.
I have been listening to this singer for several years. I am glad she is starting to hit the mainstream. Her two singles before this one, What Are You Going To Tell Her and Black Like Me are also really good songs.
lyrics:
Hey God, it’s me I hate to be a bother But I could use a minute or two Yeah, I’m just so Heartbroken, disappointed In the way this world is coming unglued
And I can’t help but wonder are you
If you got a little love Left in your back pocket Rain it down like pennies In this wishing well of tears I know that you’re busy But if you could hear me talking We could use a little more heaven down here We could use a little more heaven down here
We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven
Hey God, I know I don’t hit you up that often But the world is turning upside down I swear it feels Like all we’ve got is problems And there’s so many, I’m losing count
If you got a little love Left in your back pocket Rain it down like pennies in this Wishing well of tears I know that you’re busy But If you could hear me talking We could use a little more heaven down here We could use a little more heaven down here
We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven
Hey God, it’s me We’re really going though it And I can’t help but wonder are you
If you got a little love Left in your back pocket Rain it down like pennies In this wishing well of tears I know that you’re busy but If you could hear me talking We could use a little more heaven down here We could use a little more heaven down here
We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven We could use We could use We could use a little more heaven
The teacher couldn’t wait for each day to start. Every morning at eight, he would welcome each of the new members personally. It never got old seeing the joy, shock, awe and excitement in each of their faces.
For the last few years, attendance has been steadily dwindling. But he knew there would always be some that believed in his teachings, no matter what the enemy threw at them.
“Good morning Michael, how are you today?” The teacher asked his top assistant.
“I am good sir, but I am concerned. Today’s class is our smallest yet,” answered Michael.
“I understand your concern, Michael. It seems like more and more of them are falling for his lies. But, do not fear, Michael. Faith, hope and love will always persevere. Also, you will not have to worry much longer Michael.”
“Why is that, teacher?” Michael asked.
The teacher responded, “I’m about to do something that will open all their eyes to the truth.”
I have been meaning to do this for awhile, but too many irons in the fire and I can’t seem to keep up.

The first song is by one of my favorites, Michael Franti & Spearhead. It is called This World Is So F***** Up (But I Ain’t Never Giving Up On It). I picked this one because of the truth in it, this world is so messed up right now, but I believe there is hope in the future, and I am not going to give up on it.
Lyrics:
Let me tell you ’bout the situation goin’ on Up inside my head today My mind is runnin’ round in circles Tryna make sense of the people Who are runnin’ everything today
All these politicians tweetin’ Got their message on repeat and Try dividin’ us with fear and the hate
Whey-ey-ey I wish I could find a better way to say this
This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up
Whey-ey-ey I wish I could find a better way to say this
We ain’t askin’ for money We just wanna make change We do it for all of the people who need it ‘Cause they got a voice and a name I can’t believe how we livin’ today I got this anger and sadness and pain They can build walls but we can build bridges And we can be part of the change
Whey-ey-ey I wish I could find a better way to say this Whey-ey-ey I wish I could find a better way to say this
This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ upLet me tell you ’bout the situation goin’ on All around the world today There’s a billion different people Doin’ a billion different things To make a billion places better today
And ey, ey-ey I know that we can make a better day
This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it This world is so fucked up But I ain’t never givin’ up on it Never givin’ up on it Never givin’ upAnd ey, ey-ey I know that we can make a better day
Before the last six months, I could’ve told my children been there, done that for everything they go through. I can not say that anymore. With the school closings, sports cancelled, not hanging out with large groups of friends, riots, protests, etc, I can not say I know what they are feeling deep inside. I can let them know they are loved and I am and always will be there for them which is where this poem comes from.
Lots of songs at the end, maybe you can find one or two to share with your children just to let them know you are there no matter what.
I’m Cheering For You
Standing on the sidelines, holding back the tears
Didn’t win it all, but at least you had next year
At least that’s what we all thought
But you didn’t know that was your last shot
There won’t be any more locker room celebration
I see your anger and your frustration
You were looking forward to a new season
The hits keep coming and you’re taking a beatin’
I want you to know even with no one cheering from the stands
I am here, cheering for you, and I am your biggest fan
It breaks my heart to see yours breaking
All the memories you should be making
But you sit in your room, staring out the window
Feeling like your entire life is in limbo
Please listen to what I have to say
Do not let these times take your joy away
Do not let them leave a permanent scar
These times do not define who you are
I’m here to listen, to talk
Sit by your side or take a walk
I can give you a hug or just hold your hand
I am here, cheering for you, and I am your biggest fan
Don’t let your story be ruined by this chapter
It won’t be long until hallways are filled with laughter
My God, My Music, My Life
