Michael Franti & Spearhead has released a song about gun violence with a powerful new video. The song features Victoria Canal and is called “The Flower.”
The video features moving portraits of people who have been injured or who have lost loved ones to gun violence. Whatever you believe about gun control, one cannot watch the video without being touched.
In the song, Franti references the famous image of Vietnam War protests with protesters putting flowers in the guns of police.
Cause we could be the healin’;
When you’re feeling all alone;
We could be the reason,
To find the strength to carry on;
In a world that’s so divided,
We shall overcome;
We could be the healing;
We can be the flower in the gun;
We could be the healing;
We can be the flower in the gun.
Michael Franti is releasing “The Flower” his upcoming album, #Stay Human, Vol II.
