Love the Place You Live

Some may call this song sappy, but I like this view of the world better than the drumbeat of fear put forth by the newsmongers.

Hal, baritone uke, lead vocal, Charlotte, English horn; Phillip, piano, vocal; Kate vocal

Do you love the place you live?
Love the ones you know?
I can see it in your face
You’re lookin’ kinda low

Its easy to be fearful
Who can you really trust
Gotta  keep your guard up
Or life can be a bust

Love the place you live?
Love the ones you know?

If you’re needy, why not give
Then see if you’re still low

You don’t need to fake it
The fruit can be so sweet
Bite into the moment
We’re offered no repeats

Love the place you live
Love the ones you’re know

Moment by moment
Watch the way love grows

If everybody watched their street
And cared for every kid
And said hello to everyone
If everybody did 


Love the place we live
Love everyone we know
Life could be much sweeter
With room for all to grow

Love the Place you live
Love the ones you know
