Light years

People tell me I´m no good
Cos I´m expressin´ all my sentiments
Now I got to channel all my vehemence
For the benefit of my self defence
And you can be a do gooder
But true sincerity ain´t charity
It can take a life time to be
How you wanna be.
You can be light years
Away from serious intention
And I thought I knew it all
Someday
I´d get to turn mankind
This way
If you don´t know you can be light years
Away from your true destination. No conscious escalation
Until I get with good vibration
I´m never gonna get to use that
use that earthly power
Substitutes
Can never take the place of peace of mind
Losing all sense of direction.
When you´re light years.
Too far away to turn you back on substitution
There is no u-turn on a one way route
Goin´ up when I learn to love the life I can bite the fruit
Now I got sunshine in my life.
Light years
Never to return to Babylon
See money don´t make a man
But if you really want you get there anyway you can.
Cos I´m expressin´ all my sentiments
Now I got to channel all my vehemence
For the benefit of my self defence
And you can be a do gooder
But true sincerity ain´t charity
It can take a life time to be
How you wanna be.
You can be light years
Away from serious intention
And I thought I knew it all
Someday
I´d get to turn mankind
This way
If you don´t know you can be light years
Away from your true destination. No conscious escalation
Until I get with good vibration
I´m never gonna get to use that
use that earthly power
Substitutes
Can never take the place of peace of mind
Losing all sense of direction.
When you´re light years.
Too far away to turn you back on substitution
There is no u-turn on a one way route
Goin´ up when I learn to love the life I can bite the fruit
Now I got sunshine in my life.
Light years
Never to return to Babylon
See money don´t make a man
But if you really want you get there anyway you can.
