The story behind the song:
Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit—this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer's block. Perhaps some of the worst we've ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio. Then on a whim we decided to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song—an African approach. It may seem random in retrospect, but at the time it was an exciting way to restart the arrangement. It was working, but our journey still was on foot until we called in Alex Boye, one of the most talented people we've ever met. Alex has this contagious energy that gave new life to the song and to us. He sings the tune in 4 different languages: Swahili, English, Yoruba (his mother's native language), and Alex's own African "scat" (we'll call it...Scafrican) =) Most of the words you hear are translated from the lyrics in the original Coldplay Tune. We're huge fans of Alex -- We bet you are now too!

When we had finished the arrangement we all agreed that listening to it was like taking a journey to somewhere remote and ruggedly beautiful. How were we to depict this with a cello, African percussion and, most difficult of all, a grand piano? We took a risky, but oh-so-valuable turn when we called in helicopters to air-lift us and our instruments where none had gone before! (Please excuse the Trek reference). Since no one had ever done this before where were we to go for advice? Well, we can tell you that Home Depot didn't have a lot of answers (how disappointing) but we did clean them out of their strongest cable they had. We don't mind telling you that when that helicopter began lifting our brand new-never-before-played grand piano into the air we couldn't help close our eyes and cross our fingers. We consider a blessing of Heaven that it worked. I guess we figured that if it didn't, maybe it could still be a viral video -- "PIANO MOVE FAIL" =)
We'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts, Duane Fielding who offered the helicopters and SkyHawk http://www.skyhawkhelicopters.com for not dropping the piano...:-) Half-way through the first day of shooting we discovered that, as typical guys, we had forgotten to bring ANY food or water to this remote location. We had two options: one, wrestle a mountain rodent and harvest cacti or two, starve. Duane, our head pilot, took pity on us. He took off (literally) and moments later landed in a Wendy's parking lot, ordered 5 of everything (sadly, he couldn't use the drive through)...took off again and brought us chicken sandwiches and hamburgers via airmail. Thank you Duane! Flying in your helicopter was a dream come true for us despite the lack of doors. =)

Agogo bell (like a cow bell)
Udu (the porcelain vase-looking drum)
Guiro (gourd scraper)
Djabarra (shaker)
Rain stick
Pangi seed shaker ("goat toenails" or Unas)

If this song touched your heart and soul, please spread the LOVE to all your friends, family and people you know. ONE LOVE!
Lyrics:
Verse 1
Now Hollywood wants to make you think they know what love is. But I'm a tell you what true love is. Love is not what you see in the movies. Its not the ecstasy, its not what you see in that scene, you know what I mean? I'm telling you right now, true love is sacrifice. Love is thinking about others before you think about yourself, love is selfless not selfish. Love is God and God is love. Love is when you lay down your life for another, whether for your brother, your mother, your father or your sister, its even laying down your life for your enemies, that's unthinkable, but think about that. Love is true. Think.
Chorus:
I'll put you in front of me
So everybody can see
My love, this is my love
I know that I'll be alright
As long as you are my guide
My love, this is my love
Verse 2
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, it always perseveres.
Love never fails. Love is everlasting, its eternal, it goes on and on, it goes beyond time, love is the only thing that will last when you die, but ask the question why? Do you have love?
Chorus
Verse 3
There is no greater love than this than he who lays down his life for his friends. Now are you willing to lay down your life for your friends? You're probably willing to lay down your life for your mother, your father, or your best friends, but are you willing to lay down your life for even those that hate you? I'm going to tell you who did that, the definition of love is Jesus Christ. He is love. The nails in his hands, the thorns in his brow, hanging on a cross for your sin my sins, that is LOVE he died for you and me while we still hated him, that is love. God is true love, and if you don't know this love, now is the time to know, perfect love.
Chorus

Lyrics Down Below:
Our version of Katy Perry's "Firework". Changed the lyrics.
Do you ever feel,
Feel like you're deep in sin,
Think there's no way out,
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel,
Feel you can never win,
Like a bowling pin,
Just gonna fall again
Do you ever feel, like there's no way out
Pretend you're fine but on the inside you're just full of doubt
Well you should know that there's
Still and chance for you, Cuz Jesus Christ is truth
You just gotta accept, the life, of Jesus Christ
He paid the price, to save all our lives
Cuz Jesus is a firework,
He gives light to all the earth,
So we'll sing A Amen,
As we give praise to h h him
Jesus is our firework,
He came to us through virgin birth
So we'll sing a amen,
Cuz he's the savior of all all man
You don't have to feel,
Like you're out of hope,
You wanna take a shower,
But there's no bar of soap
But really all ya need,
Is Jesus to succeed,
If you just let him in,
You will then be freed
Of all your wicked ways,
Of all your doubt and fear,
Just put your faith in him
and all these things will disappear
And by amazing grace,
You will be saved
And when its time you'll pray
You just gotta accept, the life, of Jesus Christ
He paid the price, to save all our lives
Cuz Jesus is a firework,
He gives light to all the earth,
So we'll sing A Amen,
As we give praise to h h him
Jesus is our firework,
He came to us through virgin birth
So we'll sing a amen,
Cuz he's the savior of all all man
Boom boom boom,
Nothing fits right here but boom boom boom
So we're just gonna sing boom boom boom
Till the chorus comes boom boom boom
Cuz Jesus is a firework,
He gives light to all the earth,
So we'll sing A Amen,
As we give praise to h h him
Jesus is our firework,
He came to us through virgin birth
So we'll sing a amen,
Cuz he's the savior of all all man
Cuz Jesus is a firework,
He gives light to all the earth,
So we'll sing A Amen,
As we give praise to h h him
Jesus is our firework.
