1000 Light Years from Here

[Intro]

Ahh, ooh

(Aaaah, oooh)

[Verse 1]

We can live underwater

It ain't hard

When you never been a part

Of the country on dry land

We used to be smarter

We taught 'em what they know

And now we got to show 'em

What it means to be American

(Good life) Good life, liberty

Innovation (Innovation)

Every child, no matter what color

Gettin' an education (An education)

Now life in the hood is nothin' but fear

1,000 light years away from here

[Chorus]

(1,000 light years from here) Oh

I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution

1,000 light years away from herе

(1,000 light years from here) Comе on

1,000 light years from here

We need a spiritual resolution

1,000 light years from here

[Verse 2]

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, oh)

Listen to me now, brother (Listen to me)

Like the motion of the stars we are (We are)

So you might as well come on

Let's go (Let's slide)

Hey (Stop talkin')

Baby dreamin' about a new world order, ahh

But it's just a nightmare if you still got borders, oh

Wouldn't you rather have me near?

Or 1,000 light years away from here

[Chorus]

1,000 light years from here

Come on

1,000 light years from here

And a peaceful resolution

1,000 light years from here

[Bridge]

Why would God make heaven so far away? (So far away)

A whole world of His children cryin' to Him everyday

Maybe it's time we all stop the rain

I'm just saying

Ahh, ooh

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

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

1,000 light years away from here

[Chorus]

1,000 light years from here

(1,000 light years away from here)

It's here if you want to be

C'mon,hey

So what you need to do, y'all

Is start lookin' outside urself

Just clap your hands

Don't understand

But they keep sellin' lies

To keep people buyin'

You can live forever!

Without even tryin'

No more dyin'

No more

Whoo

Ooh

1,000 light years from here

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

1,000 light years away from here

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(1,000 light years away from here)

(So far)

(So far away)

1,000 light years away from here

(So far away)

(Take me there)
