Lyrics of 'Radio Song' by Esperanza Spalding

La la la la, la la la la
Right now you needed, driving yourself through the hard times
Traffic won't speed up, so you turn the radio on
La la la la
But it's the same old stuff that makes you yawn
Well somehow he feels it, and the DJ at the station
Sends sweet salvation when it start to play the song

Now you can't help singing alone, even though you never heard it
You keep singin' it wrong

This song will keep you grooving
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
Words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes... This song's the one

Even though you never heard it
You keep singing it wrong, this song is the one

(And then they start mixing it up)

When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save

When you're tired and scared of missing something
Waiting for some magic to come and make you feel better
Enter that song
Now that's how we know the power of song can save

Now that's how we know the power of song can save
Well it can surely save the day
And keep you grooving

(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh... This song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
Words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one

Smiling and driving, sounds like soon it might be over
So you pull over
And start scrambling for a pen
But another comes in again
Paper in hand, you, can't help movin' while you're listenin'
Your skin starts bristlin'
Here comes the part you know

And you can't help singing along, even though you never heard it
And you keep singing it wrong

This song is the one
(Can't stop moving)
Play to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
To the words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Ooh, this song is the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
When the words are speaking through you
Ooh, this song's the one
(You gotta make moving)
Play it to lift your spirits
(Soon as you hear it)
Words are speaking through you
(As if they knew you)
Yes, this song's the one

Yes, this song's the one
Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
(Play it to lift your spirits)
(Because you like to, because you need to)
This song's the one

Now if you want to
Sing it loud, with love, with love in your heart
Because you like to, because you need to
