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)
