Lyrics
A new place, a new time
A fresh start in a different location and era.
A new sun, new sun light
New sunlight in this new place.
A new bed, a new night
A novel bed and a different night.
A new hand to hold tight
A new person to hold closely.
A new plan at new heights
New plans reaching new heights.
With new star shine, I might
Possibility of discovering comfort under new starlight.
Find new comfort, new fight
Facing new challenges and conflicts.
A new heart to call mine
A new heart to claim as one's own.
Maybe it's right here, it's right now
Possibly the ideal moment and place.
Maybe with a future we envisioned
Reflecting on a future envisioned in the past.
All that time ago
Referencing a time long ago.
Maybe we still got time to go
Considering the possibility of time remaining.
Or maybe we're destined for light now
Perhaps destined for brightness now.
Maybe we got galaxies mapped out
Imagining a future with planned paths and galaxies.
On all our paths tomorrow
Anticipating journeys for everyone in the future.
Maybe we're blasting off tomorrow
Maybe launching into new experiences.
See me moonbeam, see me scatter
Symbolizing the speaker as a moonbeam, present and scattered.
See us all up in your atmosphere
Collective existence in the atmosphere with potential consequences.
Fucking up it's matter
Challenging established norms and structures.
Try to break us, we won't falter
Resistance against attempts to weaken.
Throw your prison up to us now
Defying confinement and societal expectations.
Like grandmama on your altar
Symbolic reference to ancestors on an altar.
Day is coming when we done taught them
Anticipating a future when lessons are learned.
No more black folks left for you to
Challenging racial struggles and pushing against oppression.
Keep on pushing through the bottom
Continued perseverance against adversity.
Baby come now, all of us is waiting
Encouragement for a collective movement.
It's okay if you feel nervous
Reassurance for those feeling anxious.
Look at me, my hands are shaking
The speaker, too, experiences nervousness.
Maybe it's right here, it's right now
Possibly the ideal moment and place (repeated).
Maybe with a future we envisioned
Reflecting on a future envisioned in the past (repeated).
All that time ago
Referencing a time long ago (repeated).
Maybe we still got time to go
Considering the possibility of time remaining (repeated).
Or maybe we're destined for light now
Perhaps destined for brightness now (repeated).
Maybe we got galaxies mapped out
Imagining a future with planned paths and galaxies (repeated).
On all our paths tomorrow
Anticipating journeys for everyone in the future (repeated).
Maybe we're blasting off tomorrow
Maybe launching into new experiences (repeated).
Hurry, before they see that we're leaving
Expressing urgency to depart before being noticed.
Don't worry, haven't you noticed you
Reassurance that the departure is unnoticed due to breathlessness.
Haven't been breathing?
Noticing a lack of breathing, possibly due to stress or tension.
Hurry, before they see that we're leaving
Reiterating the urgency to leave without being seen.
Don't worry, haven't you noticed you
Reassurance regarding the lack of attention to breathing.
Haven't been breathing?
Highlighting the unnoticed strain on well-being.
