Brighter
Ozomatli feat. Dave Stewart Lyrics

Some say we're heading for Oblivion
Some people think that we're headed towards disaster or complete destruction.

Falling backwards down the rabbit hole
We're descending into chaos, confusion, or a world where things don't make sense.

Them wretches cold and shivering
People who are sad, hopeless, or in need of guidance.

Somebody tell them we got music for your soul
Our music is here to uplift and heal those who are feeling lost or empty.

Weight's gonna get much lighter
Our burdens and worries will become lighter, easier to bear.

World's gonna look much brighter
The future will be optimistic, with new possibilities and opportunities.

Though the heat's gonna carry on
Even though life won't be easy, and we'll face challenges and obstacles.

We'll make it through the night
We'll get through the difficult times and come out stronger on the other side.

They say we're feeling the tension
People are saying that there's stress, pressure, or conflict within our community.

Spreading verbal venom around this very home
People are hurting each other with their words, causing more harm than good.

We judge all by action
We believe that people should be defined by their deeds, not their words or appearance.

Love is the only answer out this pressure dome
The solution to our problems is to love and support each other, rather than fighting or attacking.

Look up look up, every minute every hour
Take a moment to be mindful and appreciative of what's around you, every day, all the time.

Day by day, raise your head, embrace your power
Keep your chin up, and remember that you have the strength and ability to overcome any obstacle.

Through the cloudy days, times of pain, even showers
Even when life is tough or painful, we should keep going and stay positive.

Make it through the night, feel the light, feel the fire
Keep pushing forward, even in the dark or difficult times, and you'll eventually find hope and energy.

Are we headed for oblivion, one in a million
Are we all doomed to fail or be forgotten, just like countless others before us?

Love is the moment that we're living in
The most important thing we can do is love and appreciate the present moment, since the future is uncertain.

Feel the hope, feel the heart, feel the light
Believe in yourself, your abilities, and your ability to make a positive impact on the world.
