Drop Me In The Water

Why we movin’ like we’re rivals, love?
In a city made for breathin’ out the cycles, love.
You walk your road, I walk mine too,
Skyline hummin’ over both our truths.
This place never asked us to compete,
Just to steady our rhythm in the passing heat.

Who said joy was somethin’ we compare?
You got storms, I got quiet prayers.
No showin’ up if the heart ain’t there,
Still the city holds us like open air.

City of freedom, babe…
It don’t crown no winner.
We just breathe until the sunset
Makes our edges shimmer.
Ain’t no happier, no sadder,
Just the shape of who we be.
That’s all, baby — that’s all, baby.
This place still loves you,
And it still loves me.

Yeah…
You stuck on the thought of who got more glow,
But glow ain’t a trophy — it’s a river we flow.
We’re mirrors in motion, two halves of the street,
Learnin’ rhythm from the cracks underneath our feet.
Freedom ain’t loud, it don’t shout, it don’t fight,
It whispers your name when you’re losin’ the night.
We ain’t losers, we ain’t winners, just two souls gettin’ thinner
’Til we breathe into the truth that the finish line’s inner.
Last breath — land soft like a quiet release,
Both of us holdin’ our small piece of peace.
City don’t judge what we carry within,
Just asks us to stay, to begin again.

City of freedom, babe…
No scoreboard here.
Only hearts that walk their stories
Till the map feels clear.
Ain’t no happier, no sadder,
Just the way we’re meant to be.
That’s all, baby — that’s all, baby.
This place still loves you…
And it still loves me.

Look…
If we ever lost the map, we’d still be fine,
’Cause the city kept our shadows learnin’ how to align.
We ain’t copies, we ain’t mirrors, we just crossin’ in light,
Two stories in the same wind tryin’ not to fight.
I don’t need you to be stronger, don’t need you to be less —
Just breathe with me once, with a heart unpressed.
Baby, happiness ain’t measured by the sparkle you see,
It’s the peace in your chest when you let yourself be.
And I’m standin’ right here, no pride to defend —
In this city of freedom, I call you my friend.
Yeah, the one who walks forward even when it feels rough,
The one who forgets they’re already enough.

City of freedom, babe…
Won’t you breathe with me?
Let the night hold all our questions
Till the dawn runs free.
Ain’t no happier, no sadder,
Just the way we’re meant to be.
That’s all, baby — that’s all, baby…
This place still loves you
And it still loves me.

City of freedom, babe…
Won’t you breathe with me?
Let the night hold all our questions
Till the dawn runs free.
Ain’t no happier, no sadder,
Just the way we’re meant to be.
That’s all, baby — that’s all, baby…
This place still loves you...

Michael Franti is a globally renowned musician, humanitarian, and activist, celebrated for his high-energy live performances, socially conscious music, and unshakable optimism. With three Billboard No. 1 hits—“Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You),” and “I Got You”—and a track record of six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA singles, and three Billboard Top 5 albums, Franti has built a career on music that uplifts and unites. His concerts break down barriers between artist and audience, transforming venues into spaces of joy, connection, and shared humanity.

On March 28, 2025, Franti released his 14th studio album, Welcome to the Family, a collection of 13 new songs that embrace themes of inclusivity, self-discovery, and resilience. The lead single, “Break Up With Everything,” is currently climbing the US AAA charts, setting the tone for an album that channels personal and global challenges into anthems of hope and change. “Every one of us has a family—whether by birth, circumstance, or choice. When you put all those together, they form the world family. Right now, the world is filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and division. This album is about taking those emotions—what I experience every day—and turning them into music that reminds us we are never alone.”

To bring this message of connection to life, Franti will embark on the Welcome to the Family Tour, a nationwide summer trek with stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Pier 17, and more. Known for his immersive concert experience—where he often performs from the crowd, invites fans on stage, and fosters a true sense of togetherness—each show is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of unity and positivity.

Beyond music, Franti is the founder of Soulshine Bali, a forty-room, five-star boutique retreat in Ubud, Indonesia, dedicated to wellness, creativity, and human connection. He and his wife also founded Do It For The Love, a nonprofit that grants live music experiences to individuals facing life-threatening illnesses, veterans, and children with severe challenges. Since its inception, the foundation has granted over 3,500 wishes, touching more than 15,000 lives worldwide.

Franti’s career is defined by his ability to turn hardship into hope, fostering unity through music, activism, and philanthropy. Whether on stage, at his Bali retreat, or through his foundation, his purpose remains the same: to bring people together, lift spirits, and remind us all that we are part of something bigger. With Welcome to the Family, he continues to create not just music but a movement of love, inclusivity, and transformation.
