Miles Apart

Noise around you Moving cars Side by side But miles apart Time is ticking Running late We don't know better But wait I - ay, know that there's a way (way, way) And why - ay, don't we start today Let's start today (ok, yeah) There's gotta be a way Everybody looking down, we should look up How are we so connected, but we don't link up There's life outside the phone, reasons to write more songs Reasons to start more families, reasons to build more homes We need touch, just as much as the air that we breathe It's so clear, but we so distracted we do not see Technology, is it a gift or just another curse? Cell phones movin' fast, but the connection is worse There's a lot of people hurting, inside they are really crying But they are just smiling for the gram while they steady dying And you know I ain't lying, if I am then I'm flying But my feet still on the earth as I write these rhymes I'm tryna change the world, with all my education Running from capitalism headed for liberation To spread to many nations, that's the dream that I'm chasing So I keep praying for peace, change, and plenty of patience I - ay, know that there's a way And why - ay, don't we start today Let's start today (ok, yeah) There's gotta be a way Wake up to chase your goals, wake up to break the mold Wake up to live out the moments of life and what it holds Find something you can be, no matter what it is And don't you ever give up, remember your inner kid Tune out the noise, don't just be a moving car Recognize where you are and how you've come so far, yeah Sometimes you've got to give yourself a hug Just as a reminder to you that you deserve love You see Arms around me Day by day Why does it feel So far away Words are empty Colours fade Now we do know better Yet all stays the same I - ay, know that there's a way And why - ay, don't we start today
