1st Light (featuring Kimona)

from Songs To Live By by The Square Egg

lyrics

Let my imagination swim/ Let it get the best of me/ My words flow easy/ Live out my destiny
And question me on how I try to breathe and move/ Best believe I got nothing to lose
The news don't affect the way that I walk/ Popularity don't affect the way that I talk
Drum beat speak dictate the way that I spark/ Living for the first light so I try to live right
Today’s another chance and a brand new play/ A new circumstance and a brand new way
Shifting in my mind, shifting in time/ Drifting, and find shores of hopes and dreams/ And promises gleaned
Under the sheen of illusion life can be confusing/ But try to hold fast and make that dream last
When you hear it, the human spirit/ Answer the call, romancing it all/ Chance and you'll fall, but loving it all

Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, no more lies
Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, we will rise

Now you gotta get yourself a way to find it/ Peace, you need it in your heart
Of what you seek, of what you feel, you know you need it/ So get it right
Under the bright sun ignite one idea to change the world/ Potential unfurls
Needed reason to believe, a reason to achieve something enormous/ Something wonderful
Had hopes shattered and torn, Splattered and born to the asphalt from a violent assault
It wasn’t his fault/ Wrong place, wrong time, wrong mind framing when bullets take aim
They don't know names when they stop would-be leaders, virgin visionaries
Who carry the promise of tomorrow/ Mothers drowning in sorrow
Mean streets breed mean streaks/ So they won't see the first light, and that’s a sad truth

Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, no more lies
Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, we will rise

And planting seeds of change to fight poverty
And feed babies today, and make leaders for tomorrow
I got a feeling that love gonna last/ I got a feeling that something special is here
I got a feeling that we're gonna war no more/ I got a feeling that the time is now
But like I said through it all I got to say that I just got a feeling
Radiation of light with the sunrise/ Look into the mind's eye to see the truth is in us
Inherent, invincible, in touch, in-tune, and in you/ Inevitably we gonna be set free
Free from the chains that hold, the chains that told the free spirits to dance no more
To sit stil,l but instead we dancing to the light of a brand new day

Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, no more lies
Under the sun we will rise, we will shine, we will find peace of mind
Reach the skies, no more cries, dry your eyes, we will rise, we will rise
