lyrics

Feel like we floating out here drifting through open spaces with total freedom and feeling that total focus. Just tryna spark a change. I had to start the same. Give yo mind a rest and give yo heart the reigns. Giving thanks how I start the day. Growing smart with age. Side effects of the scars and pain. This the love that let know yo… heart is safe. Looking at the sky for those… stars to chase. Times stay hard to face, but the parts we make better together stay hard to shake when the darkness breaks. This the picture broken glass sparkling paints. It ain’t garbage day just some old baggage in the yard today. When being myself was the hardest way I’d walk it like I talk it when they mostly all bark today. No bite. Flash and they gone just like a strobe light while I’m busy giving you chills like I’m a draft on a cold night…

This that real this that absolute. Just a passage passing through me that I pass to you. Universal rhythm. I’ma catch the groove. Opportunity’s callin’ lemme patch you through cuz we could all use a helping hand, and that’s the truth. Here like I never left. A testament in every breath. Set against a system that never let us catch some rest. Chess game played with 10 levels to it. We could go fast alone, but when we harmonize like music the distances staying infinite. So we put our minds together and move with no divisions in the ranks. Never drawing a blank in the think tank. Just full speed ahead on a ship that you think sank. A growing consciousness with no stopping in sight. A beacon for the seekers yo just watch for the light. This that gospel of life that push that flock into flight. Either we breaking the chains or they’ll be lockin’ ‘em tight…
