Letra
[Verse 1]
Light years
Light years away from the color of our brotherhood
Light years ahead will be a new solution
Light years from our journey to our systems
Hey (Can you dig it?)
[Verse 2]
So far
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
Light years
[Verse 3]
Yeah, now I feel it comin'
You give me light years
Away from serious intention
Yeah
See, I thought I'd change it all
Someday
I get to turn mankind this way
Hey
If you don't know you can't relate, yes
Away from your true destination, yeah
Until I get with good vibration
I'm never ever gonna get to use that Earthly power
Hey
Say, I'm gonna jump back
Stand back and use that Earthly power
[Verse 4]
(Oh, right on)
Oh, goin' up now
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Ooh, I got it
Ooh, I got it
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Hey, now I got it
Oh, I got it
I got, got, got, got, got, got, got it
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Oh
I was light years away
I was light years away
Now I got that sunshine in my life
[Verse 5]
Hey, I was light years
Half a million miles from where you wanna be
Did you ever hear about the man who tried to be
Truly, truly free? Truly free?
You know what I mean
[Verse 6]
Oh, light years
Whilst in-between our lives of principle, hey
And that we think we are invincible
But with that true power
It's unthinkable, man
But I'm gonna never use that
Jump back, stand back
And use that Earthly power
[Verse 7]
Hey, I was light years away
Oh, I was light years away
Light years away
Light years away
Have you ever been lightyears away?
From what you wanna be?
Who you wanna be?
What you wanna be?
Ow
[Verse 8]
Hey, I'm goin' out now
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Hey, yeah
Light years away from where I wanted to be
But now I got that sunshine in my life
Oh, I was light years, light years away
And I had to come back here
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Oh, light years away
Have you ever been lightyears away from where you wanna be?
From where you wanna be, yeah, oh
Light years
Light years
I was light years away
Now I got that sunshine in my life
I was light years away
And I couldn't come back
No, I couldn't come back
Now I got that sunshine in my life
Some brothers ain't got a thing
Light years
Light years
Got, got, got, got, got, got, got it
Now I got that sunshine in my life
[Verse 9]
Ooh, I was light years
Light years away from the color of our brotherhood
Light years ahead will be a new solution
Light years away from our duty to assistance
[Verse 10]
Hey
Music, you got to use it
I want you to use it all together, yeah
We were all given
We were all given
Hey Earthly, Earthly, Earthly, Earthly power
And I'm gonna use my Earthly power
See
Oh, duty to our sisters
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah
This song is all about our
All about our resistance
Hey
Hey
Hey
[Verse 11]
Have you ever been lightyears away?
Have you ever been lightyears away from who you wanna be?
(Do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again)
I keep tryna come back here
But every time I do it again
I do it again
I do it again
I do it again
Oh, light years
Hey, light years
(Do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again)
Light years away from the color of our brotherhood
Y'all understand?
Light years away from who I am
Light years from what I wanna give
(Do it again, do it again, do it)
