Speed Of Light
Van Canto Lyrics

At the speed of light
Referring to moving at an incredibly fast pace.

At the speed of light
Repeating the above.

I have walked about a million miles
Expressing that a lot of time has passed.

Step by step into the haze
Describing the slow and uncertain path taken.

To notice it it took a while
Admitting that it took some time to recognize.

That circles were the ways I made
Recognizing the repetitive nature of past actions.

Is it far too late?
Wondering if it's too late for a change.

Changing my own fate
Expressing a desire to make a different future.

A million voices telling me
Feeling the weight of collective pressure and expectations.

"Tomorrow is a different day
Lots of potential for change in the future.

Our concept is to do the same
However, society tends to stay in patterns.

The opposite of yesterday"
Though people want different results.

Let me get away
A plea to break free from societal expectations.

At the speed of light I fly
Embodying a desire to move fast and make the most of life.

I'm one step away
And expressing a strong feeling of being on the precipice.

Seconds turn days into nights
Feeling that life moves quickly.

And I'm on my way
Feeling excited that change is imminent.

At the speed of light I fly
Once again embodying a desire to move fast.

Aeons passing by
Though acknowledging that time is long.

All believers still alive
And that everyone who held onto hope is still here.

At speed of light they fly
Moving quickly toward a better future.

A cave - narrow walls surrounding me
Expressing a feeling of being trapped and limited.

This is just a place to die
Feeling dead-ended and hopeless.

Although sometimes one gets to see
Acknowledging rare opportunities for hope.

Brighter lighting passing by
Moments of clarity and hope.

Breaking through the night
Pushing through the darkness.

Nonsense I should listen to
Realizing that societal beliefs may not always be helpful.

There's better life beyond these walls
Believing that there is a better future beyond current limitations.

And now I know what to do
Feeling excited to start making a change.

End what was there, what has been
Making a definitive break from the past.

Break the silence
Being bold and innovative.

Tell me about what you hold inside
Encouraging open and honest communication.

See what is here, what will be
Being aware of the changing present and future.

Be inspired
Feeling motivated to make things better.

Take off to fly to a better life
Going boldly toward a better future.

I'm here to remain
Staying strong despite struggles.

The speed of life is quickly passing by
Realizing the fast pace of life.

Still it's all the same
Despite the fast pace, life can still seem repetitive.

At the speed of light
Repeating the title, again emphasizing the desire to move fast.

I'm one step away
Feeling close to reaching goals.

Seconds turn days into nights
Again feeling the quick pace of life.

And I'm on my way
Feeling excited that the future is in sight.

Aeons passing by
Acknowledging that time moves quickly.

All believers still alive
Believing that all hope is not lost.

At speed of light they fly
Urging everyone to move quickly toward a better future.
