The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ahh, ooh

(Aaaah, oooh)

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, liberty

Innovation (innovation)

Every child

No matter what color

Gettin' an education (an education)

Now life in the hood

Is nothin' but fear

One thousand light years away from here

One thousand light years from here

Oh

I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution

One thousand light yеars away from here

One thousand light yеars from here

Come on

One thousand light years from here

We need a spiritual resolution

One thousand light years from here

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 a star

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

For one thousand light years away from here?

One thousand light years from here

Come on

One thousand light years from here

And a peaceful resolution

One thousand light years from here

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

If it's a good cryin'

I'm 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

One thousand light years from here

(One thousand 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

One thousand light years from here

(One thousand light years away from here)

(One thousand light years away from here)

(One thousand light years away from here)

(One thousand light years away from here)

(One thousand light years away from here)

One thousand light years away from here

(One thousand light years away from here)

(One thousand light years away from here)

One thousand light years away from here

One thousand light years away from here

One thousand light years away from here

(So far)

(So far away)

One thousand light years away from here

(So far away)

(Take me there)
