Here's a little uplifting bop for your weekend. I don't usually love Valerie June's idiosyncratic vocal style, but I still appreciate her and listen to every record. I loved the sound of this song, so I followed along with the lyrics. "Are you ready?"

Are you ready to see
A world where we could all be free?
As branches of an endless tree
May we seek and find it
Although we may not all agree
Still live together peacefully

Watching the news almost every night
Telling the stories of all that ain't right
But what could be done from a house and a home?
Sink in the sofa and feel so alone
Getting the courage to do something small
Lifting the spirits of all that you saw
Feeling the tiniest spark in your heart
'Cause only an ember can light up the dark

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
People get, people get, people get
Ready, yeah
Ready, yeah
Ready, yeah

Tell me, my brother, how love goes around
Neighbor to neighbor, we create a town
City to country, a nation is formed
Person to person, a kindness is born
There is a beauty in the number one
Just like the moon and just like the sun
So if you're on the couch and you're feeling alone
May you feel moved after hearing this song\
