“Be who you are nothing more nothing less, and let the beauty that you love be the very best. Sing praises to the highest with your feet on the ground, and reach for your brother with the words that you sound, and don't let mistakes be so monumental, and don't let your love be so confidential, and don't let your mind be so darn judgmental, and please let your heart be more influential. Be thankful for all the Spirit provides, And be thankful for all that you can see without eyes, Give thanks to music that keeps us alive, And give thanks to all DJs worldwide.” GivingMindHeartEyeSpiritSoundLove IsMistakeAliveFeetBrotherPleaseHighestPraiseWho You AreThanksBeing ThankfulInfluentialJudgmentalDjsYour BrotherBe Who You AreFeet On The GroundConfidential Author:Michael Franti

Please, I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Can I go home now? I've wondered where home is. It's when I was in Indianapolis when I was nine years old.
