1000 Light Years from Here lyrics

We can live underwater

It ain't hard when you've 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

What it means to be American

Good life, liberty, innovation

Every child, no matter what color

Getting an education

Now life in the hood is nothing to fear

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

I'm talkin' 'bout a peaceful revolution

1000 light years from here

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here (come on)

1000 light years from here

We need a spiritual resolution

1000 light years from here

You can dream in color

When you let go of the proverbial

You got to crawl before you walk

I told you so

Listen to me now, brother

Like the motion of the stars we are

So you might as well come on

Let's go (stop talking)

You may been dreaming about

A new world order

But it's just a nightmare

If we still got borders

Wouldn't you rather have me near?

Or 1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here (come on)

1000 light years from here

(An agreed-upon resolution)

1000 light years from here

Why would God make Heaven so far away?

With a whole world of His children

Cryin' to Him every day

Maybe it's time we all stop the rain

Or I'm just sayin'

If you are 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

It's nothing to fear

Your salvation is near

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here

(It's here, it's here)

1000 light years from here

(If you want it to be)

1000 light years from here (come on)

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here

(So whatcha need to do you all)

1000 light years from here

(You need to stop lookin' outside yourself)

1000 light years from here

1000 light years away from here

(And just, and just, just clap your hands)

1000 light years from here

(I don't understand)

1000 light years from here

(Why they keep sellin' lies)

1000 light years from here

(And you keep buyin')

1000 light years away from here

(When you could live forever)

1000 light years from here

(Without even trying)

1000 light years from here

(No more dyin')

1000 light years from here

(No more ...)

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years away from here

1000 light years from here

1000 light years from here

(So far away)

1000 light years from here

1000 light years away from here

(So far away from here)
