We can live underwaterIt ain't hard when You've never been a partOf the country, on dry landWe used to be smarterWe taught 'em what they knowAnd now we got to showWhat it means to be AmericanGood life, liberty, innovationEvery child, no matter what colorGetting an educationNow life in the hood is nothing to fear1000 light years away from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from hereEye'm talkin' 'bout a peaceful revolution1000 light years from here1000 light years away from here1000 light years from here (Come on)1000 light years from hereWe need a spiritual resolution1000 light years from hereYou can dream in colorWhen you let go of the proverbialYou got to crawl before you walkEye told you soListen to me now brotherLike the motion of the stars we RSo you might as well come onLet's go (Stop talking)You may been dreaming aboutA new world orderBut it's just a nightmareIf we still got bordersWouldn't you rather have me near?Or 1000 light years away from here (Come on)1000 light years from here(An agreed-upon resolution)1000 light years from hereWhy would God make Heaven so far away?With a whole world of His childrenCryin' to Him every dayMaybe it's time we all stop the rainOr Eye'm just sayin'If you R sick of cryin' and tired of tearsThen close Your eyes and open Your earsListen to the music, listen to the songListen to Your heart, is that so wrong?Stop lookin' in the mirrorIt's nothing to fearYour salvation is near1000 light years away from here1000 light years from here(It's here, it's here)1000 light years from here(If you want it to B)1000 light years from here (Come on)1000 light years away from here1000 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 here1000 light years away from here(And just, and just, just clap Your hands)1000 light years from here(Eye 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 4ever)1000 light years from hereWithout even trying1000 light years from hereNo more dyin'1000 light years from hereNo more1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years away from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years from here1000 light years away from here1000 light years from here(So far)1000 light years from here(So far away)1000 light years from here1000 light years away from hereSo far away from here
