Light Years

Light years!
Light years away from the colour of our brotherhood!
Light years ahead would be a new solution!      } (Light years, light years,)
Light years from our duty to assistance!        } (Light years, light years...)
Hey               (can you dig it?)

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.

And I'm not afraid to come in.

You can be light years
Away from serious intention, yeah.
See I thought I'd change it all
Some day.
I'd get to turn mankind
This way, hey.

If you don't know you can be light years
Away from your true destination
Hey.
Until I get that 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!

(Chorus)
    Oh, right on.
    All going up now,
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Ooh I got it,
    Ooh I got it.
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Hey, now I got it, oh I got it.
    I g- g- g- g- g- g- got it.
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Oh! I was light years away,
    I was light years away,
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.

Hey, I was light years
Half a million miles from
What you want to be.
Did you ever hear about the man
Who tried to be
Truly,
Truly free? Truly free?
You know what I mean.

Oh, light years
Will stand between the laws of principle,
Hey.
And now we think we are invincible,
But without true power
It's unthinkable man.

  But I'm gonna learn to use that,
  Jump back, stand back,
  And use that earthly power!
  Hey, I was light years away
  Oh, I was light years away,
  Light years away, light years away.
  Have you ever been light years away
  From what you want to be,
  Who you want to be,
  What you want to be?
  Ow!

(Chorus)
    Hey I'm going out now
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Hey-yeah, light years away from
    Where I wanted to be, but
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Oh, I was light years, light years away,
    And I had to come back in.
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    Oh, light years away, have you ever been
    Light years away from where you want to be,
    From where you want to be, yeah?
    Oh,
    Light years, light years,
    I was light years away.
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.
    I was light years away
    And I couldn't come back,
    Now I couldn't come back.
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.  (Some brothers ain't got a thing.)
    Light years, light years,
    Light years, I g- g- g- g- g- g- got it,
    Now I've got that sunshine in my life.

Ooh I was
Light years;
Light years away from the colour of our brotherhood!
Light years ahead would be a new solution!
Light years away from our duty to assistance!

Hey
Use it, you've got to use it,
I want you to use that earthly power, 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 assistance.
Hey-yeah, hey-yeah,
This song is all about it.
All about our resistance.

Hey, hey, hey!
Have you ever been light years away?
Have you ever been light years from who you want to be?   (Do it again)
Do it again, do it again, do it again.
I keep trying to come back in,
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!
Light years away from the colour of our brotherhood!    (Do it again, do it again...)
Y'all understand?
Light years away from who I am.
Light years away from what you want to be...      (fade out)
