Light Years (album instrumental) Songtext
von Jamiroquai

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)
Light years from our duty to assistance! (Light years)
Hey!

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!

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-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!

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
No 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, do it again)
