Had to survive living in the light
Had to stay alive living in the light
Have to survive living in the light

Hold the beat
Stop the beat
Drop the beat

Children of nature from another culture
Had to survive living in the light
Stolen from the center of the world untimely departure
Somehow survived living in the light

Had to survive living in the light
Had to stay alive living in the light
Have to survive living in the light

Roots become subculture
Oh, the sound of street dub vendor
Knew you had to survive living in the light
Beautiful yet scattered

Through it all your spirit never shattered
Glad to stay alive living in the light

Had to survive living in the light
Had to stay alive living in the light
Had to survive
(Yes in the light)
Living in a light
(So bright, had to guide you home)

Have to survive living in the light

(Children of nature)
Have to stay alive living in the light
Living in the light, yes
Had to survive living in the light

There's ways we can sometimes turn our wrong to right
But some things we can never change
Things can be so fine living in the light
Hold the beat, stop the beat, drop the beat

To those who know what I mean
And those who don't I'll tell you
Follow good feelings through
Let the superficial pass you by, oh yeah
Living in the light, yeah, yeah, oh

Had to survive living in the light
(Children of nature)
Have to stay alive living in the light
Living in the light, yes
Had to survive living in the light

Had to survive living in the light
Had to stay alive living in the light
Have to survive living in the light

Had to survive living in the light
Had to stay alive living in the light
Have to survive living in the light
