The only way to get through
Is to go through
That’s all we can do
Cause there’s no turning back
Gotta stay on track
Til we get to the light
At the end of the tunnel (Ay)
I see the end of the struggle (Ay)
We’re gonna be alright
I see the light
I see the light

Head to the sky
Eyes on the prize
I’ve gotta shine - hey
Dreams over fears
Let your worries all disappear

Cuz we’re all that we got
If we lean on each other
Then we got a shot, ay
We gotta work it out
If we want change to come

When it’s over we gon’ kick back
Laugh, have a kiki
Look at the scars
As a sign of the vic’try

The whole world’s got some problems
What we gonna do to solve ‘em
Sometimes we don't try, thinking we'll lose
But you fail couldn't take a chance, Boo Hoo

We’re living just one day at a time
To keep up a higher vibe

The only way to get through
Is to go through
That’s all we can do
Cause there’s no turning back
Gotta stay on track
Til we get to the light
At the end of the tunnel (Ay)
I see the end of the struggle (Ay)
We’re gonna be alright
I see the light
I see the light

In the darkest night
You struggle so hard to fight 
Dare to open your eyes 
Other side is paradise 

The light from the horizon of our brand new day
Is coming our way

They tried to bury us (Rise up)
They didn’t know that we were seeds
Erin:
Darkness cannot drive out darkness 

Only light can
Hatred cannot drive out hate
Only love can

Worked our way up from the past
Sho do know our strength gon’ last

We’ve been through so much drama
From slave trauma to Obama
But like our dads and mamas
We’ll keep marchin’ til nirvana

The only way to get through
Is to go through
That’s all we can do
Cause there’s no turning back
Gotta stay on track
Til we get to the light
At the end of the tunnel (Ay)
I see the end of the struggle (Ay)
We’re gonna be alright
I see the light
I see the light

Be sure to get ur ticket
Your 2 kids,
Ur padnah and ur white picket 
Good livin’ when the vision is specific 
Divine state of mind
And a fine place to visit


We’ve come so far yet still Looks so far away
But each and everyday We keep it pushing
To make change So
Don’t be muzzled, befuddled, disrupted
By distractions - Maintain The Mission
Your motive and passion

Objects appear closer - Goapele 
Get to the cake 
I’ll never need a chauffeur
Self-drive to 10 and 2
Please don’t make me expose ya
Made slaves out of metaphors 
We built another building 
When they bolt the door 

It makes you wonder why we be getting so meta for
Deep Love for the people, hope at the core
Whatever we can imagine 
It’s really up to us to manifest and manage 
Then repair the damage damnit

Keep lapping racists cause you know this is a marathon 
But short term memory’s a ghost like puffing marijuan  
Testing mental health 
Rest and use your breath  
Essential right mind 
It’s dark right before you let your light shine

Panthers programs 
Local slow jams 
Parks and positives 
Sparks and politics 
Through all the struggles and decisions 
We can't understand 
No need for medals or no ribbons 
Just defeat the man 


There it go (what)
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel (Oh)
Choose to knuckle through don’t buckle 
Just follow the light
Just follow the light
Meet me on the other side

There it go (what)
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel (Oh)
Choose to knuckle through don’t buckle (yeah)
Just follow the light
See ya on the other side

It guess it takes deadly disease from overseas
And stolen breath from a knee on neck (black death)
Can’t be here no more
Got my bags packed full with passport sittin’ right the door (the door)

Got the bigger picture on my mind
And I know I’ll get through it this time

Clear vision is a choice
The channel is your voice

Why do we cry about those who lost their way
If you can see the light
Maybe you can help them find their way

Set your hands in mine 
You won’t walk alone
Our hearts stay strong
Eyes ahead 
And carry on

The only way to get through
Is to go through
That’s all we can do
Cause there’s no turning back
Gotta stay on track
Til we get to the light
At the end of the tunnel (Ay)
I see the end of the struggle (Ay)
We’re gonna be alright
I see the light
I see the light

CHIN UP - There’s goes the light, I see the light, Move towards the light
At the end of the tunnel 
CHIN UP - Look up ahead, Get out your head, Get through instead
To the end of the struggle (Keith: Keep your head up)
CHIN UP - There’s goes the light, I see the light, Move towards the light
At the end of the tunnel 
CHIN UP - Look up ahead, Get out your head, Get through instead
To the end of the struggle 
Amber:
Get up 
Get up 
Get up 
Get up 

Move up 
Move up 
Move up 
Move up 

Look up 
Look up 
Look up 
Look up 

CHIN UP - We can't leave the country no way
Borders closed like Sunday
But watch me, I’m amazing
CHIN UP - I’ll guess I’ll stay and teach these children
And unpack with heads up, 

So tired but they blessin’ me
CHIN UP - Keep your chin up (Ay)
You are not alone
We’ll make it out of the rubble
And be the good kind of trouble
The only way to get through
Is to go through
So whatever it is - Get up
There goes it, there goes it, there goes the light
And we are going to be alright
Get up
Move up 
Look up 
We can stand til the end of the struggle
Go through
