1st Light - Feat. Kimona

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 still, 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

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
