Lyrics

Distant Lights

[Verse 1]

Remember when we used to be like

We could get that speed right

Nine to twelve on each night

Remember how you used to D right

Held it in just real tight

Make it bust on each time (Each time)

Remember when we went to concerts

Talkin' 'bout who's on first

Waitin' for the encore

I know this year don't really feel right

Wanna leave it behind

We don't want no rewind (Rewind)

[Pre-Chorus]

All, all my life

I've, I've been down

All I want to be is free

All I want is peace

[Chorus]

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

[Verse 2]

You told me how to keep my lean right (Lean right)

Walk up out the scene like (Scene like)

I deserve to be right (Be right)

You give me confidence in me right (Right)

I was on the decline (Decline)

Preachin' my beliefs right (Beliefs right)

My mama told me I got insight (Insight)

Microphones that speak right (Speak right)

I got what they need right (Need right)

I got the patience with my free time (Free time)

Waitin' for the key time (Key time)

Shootin' from the three line (Three line)

[Pre-Chorus]

All, all my life

I've, I've been down

All I want to be is free

All I want is peace

[Chorus]

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

Follow the distant lights

[Outro]

I have to imagine that

The kids, the youth, they'd starve

I don't believe that music, dancing

The freedom of expression will be suppressed for much longer

I can't, that's against human nature

I believe that the future is near
