Sonia Dada - Planes & Satellites lyrics

rate me

When I was a boy

You know my momma would say to me

The world's a mystery, of darkness and light

When I was a kid

I would stare off into space

To escape the evil place, I was livin' in

When I was alone

I would close my eyes at night

Fill in an imaginary light, with the moon and stars

But I remember

Livin' in the street

My heart Would drift away, into the night

(chorus)

In the sky, in the sky, in the sky, in the sky

They got the planes and satellites

Yeah, airplanes and satellites

Whoa, whoa

(chorus repeat)

You know my momma said, boy

She said, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby boy

Listen to what I say

You know that evil ain't goin' away

Ain't goin' away, no, no

But I look up in the sky,

It ain't flooded with the stars

Pretty lights are flying across

To shine on me yeah yeah

(chorus x2)

When I was a boy

I remember livin' in the streets

I didn't have enough to eat

It was a misery

I could wake up, and look up in the sky

Hopin' that God's light would shine on me, yeah

(chorus x2)
