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
Eye'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
Eye told you so
Listen to me now brother
Like the motion of the stars we R
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 (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 Eye'm just sayin'

Ah ah ah ah Ooooo
Ah ah ah ah Ooooo
Ah ah ah ah Ooooo

If you R 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 B)
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
(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 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
(So far)
1000 light years from here
(So far away)
1000 light years from here
1000 light years away from here
So far away from here
