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. --- Light Years - Jamiroquai
