Prince - 1000 Light Years from Here Lyrics
Official




Ah, ooh-ooh

We can live underwater
It ain't hard when you've 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 (good life)
Liberty, innovation (innovation)
Every child, no matter what color, gettin' an education
Now life in the hood is nothin' but fear
1000 light-years away from here

1000 light-years from here (oh)
1000 light-years from here (I'm talkin' about a peaceful resolution)
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 (you can dream in color)
When you let go of the proverbial
"You got to crawl before you walk"
(I told you so)
Listen to me now, brother (listen to me)
Like the motion of the stars above (we are a star)
So you might as well come on
Let's go (let's slide, stop talkin')
Hey
Baby dreamin' about a new world order, ah
But it's just a nightmare if you still got borders, oh
Wouldn't you rather have me near
Or 1000 light-years away from here?

1000 light-years from here (come on)
1000 light-years from here (and a peaceful resolution)
1000 light-years from here

Why would God make heaven so far away? (So far away)
With a whole world of his children cryin' to him every day
Maybe it's time we all stop the rain (stop the rain)
I'm just saying

Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah, ooh-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
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 to be)
1000 light-years from here (c'mon hey)
1000 light-years away from here (hey, hey)

1000 light-years from here (so what you need to do, y'all)
1000 light-years from here (is start lookin' outside yourself)
1000 light-years from here (just, just, just clap your hands)
1000 light-years away from here
1000 light-years from here (i don't understand)
1000 light-years from here (but they keep sellin' lies)
1000 light-years from here (you keep people buyin')
1000 light-years away from here
1000 light-years from here (gonna can live forever)
1000 light-years from here (without even tryin')
1000 light-years from here (no more dyin')
No more

1000 light-years from here (woo)
1000 light-years from here (oh, oh)
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
Oh, take me there
