Ah ooh-ohh
Ahh
Ohh
We can live underwater
It ain't hard
When you never been a part (been a part)
Of the country on dry land
We used to be smarter (smarter)
We taught 'em what they know
And now we got to show 'em
What it means to be American (American)
Good life, liberty (good life)
Innovation (innovation)
Every child
No matter what color
Gettin' an education (Education)
Now life in the hood
Is nothin' but fear
One thousand light years away from here
Thousand light years from here (uh)
1000 light years from here (I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution)
Thousand light years from here
One thousand light years away from here
Thousand light years from here (Come on)
1000 light years from here (we need a spiritual resolution)
Thousand light years from here
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)
Listen to me now, brother (Listen to me)
Like the motion of the stars
So you might as well come on (We are a star)
Let's go (Let's slide)
Hey (Stop talkin')
May've been dreamin' about a new world order
A-ah
But it's just a nightmare
If you still got borders, oh
Wouldn't you rather have me near?
Or one thousand light years away from here?
Thousand light years from here (Come on)
Thousand light years from here (And a peaceful resolution)
Thousand light years from here
Why would God make heaven so far away?
A whole world of His children
Cryin' to him everyday
Maybe it's time we all stop the rain (The rain)
I'm just saying
Ah ah ah ah
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah ah
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah ah
Oh-oh
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
One thousand light years away from here
Thousand light years from here (It's here, it's here)
Thousand light years from here (If you want to be)
Thousand light years from here (C'mon)
One thousand light years away from here (Hoo hoo)
Thousand light years from here (Stop watch you in the mirror)
Thousand light years from here (Please stop lookin' outside yourself)
Thousand light years from here (Just, just, just clap your hands)
One thousand light years away from here
Thousand light years from here (I don't understand)
Thousand light years from here (Why they keep sellin' lies)
Thousand light years from here (You keep buyin')
One thousand light years away from here (Could live forever)
Thousand light years from here (Without even tryin')
Thousand light years from here (No more dyin')
Thousand light years from here (No more!)
Thousand light years from here (Woo)
Thousand light years from here (Hee hee)
Thousand light years from here Hhe hee)
Thousand light years from here (ohhh oh-oh)
Thousand light years from here (oh-oh)
Thousand light years from here
One thousand light-years away from here
Thousand light years from here
Thousand light years from here
Thousand light years from here
One thousand light years away from here
Thousand light years from here (So far)
Thousand light years from here (So far away)
Thousand light years from here
One thousand light years away from here
So far away from here
Oh, take me there
