1000 Light Years From Here

Ah ooh-ohh

Ahh

Ohh

We can live underwater

It ain't hard

When you never been a part (been a part)

Of the country on dry land

We used to be smarter (smarter)

We taught 'em what they know

And now we got to show 'em

What it means to be American (American)

Good life, liberty (good life)

Innovation (innovation)

Every child

No matter what color

Gettin' an education (Education)

Now life in the hood

Is nothin' but fear

One thousand light years away from here

Thousand light years from here (uh)

1000 light years from here (I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution)

Thousand light years from here

One thousand light years away from here

Thousand light years from here (Come on)

1000 light years from here (we need a spiritual resolution)

Thousand light years from here

You can dream in color (You can dream in color)

When you let go

Of the proverbial

"You got to crawl before you walk"

Mmm (I told you so)

Listen to me now, brother (Listen to me)

Like the motion of the stars

So you might as well come on (We are a star)

Let's go (Let's slide)

Hey (Stop talkin')

May've been dreamin' about a new world order

A-ah

But it's just a nightmare

If you still got borders, oh

Wouldn't you rather have me near?

Or one thousand light years away from here?

Thousand light years from here (Come on)

Thousand light years from here (And a peaceful resolution)

Thousand light years from here

Why would God make heaven so far away?

A whole world of His children

Cryin' to him everyday

Maybe it's time we all stop the rain (The rain)

I'm just saying

Ah ah ah ah

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Ah ah ah ah

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Ah ah ah ah

Oh-oh

If you're sick of cryin' and tired of tears

Then close your eyes and open your ears

Listen to the music, listen to the song

Listen to your heart, is that so wrong?

Stop lookin' in the mirror, there's nothin' to fear

Your salvation is near

One thousand light years away from here

Thousand light years from here (It's here, it's here)

Thousand light years from here (If you want to be)

Thousand light years from here (C'mon)

One thousand light years away from here (Hoo hoo)

Thousand light years from here (Stop watch you in the mirror)

Thousand light years from here (Please stop lookin' outside yourself)

Thousand light years from here (Just, just, just clap your hands)

One thousand light years away from here

Thousand light years from here (I don't understand)

Thousand light years from here (Why they keep sellin' lies)

Thousand light years from here (You keep buyin')

One thousand light years away from here (Could live forever)

Thousand light years from here (Without even tryin')

Thousand light years from here (No more dyin')

Thousand light years from here (No more!)

Thousand light years from here (Woo)

Thousand light years from here (Hee hee)

Thousand light years from here Hhe hee)

Thousand light years from here (ohhh oh-oh)

Thousand light years from here (oh-oh)

Thousand light years from here

One thousand light-years away from here

Thousand light years from here

Thousand light years from here

Thousand light years from here

One thousand light years away from here

Thousand light years from here (So far)

Thousand light years from here (So far away)

Thousand light years from here

One thousand light years away from here

So far away from here

Oh, take me there
