I was late for class, almost lost my bag
Missed the bus stop down by the railroad tracks
Singin' stop this train, like john in '08
Or is this my fate? 'cause this world won't change
Told my mama I could see all this road in front of me
She said: Where you gonna go if this isn't what it seems?
I said: My heart is in this sound
And these kids need light right now

Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it all around, all around
Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it all around, all around
Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it all around

Take back my time from these books I don't write
And start on my own shelf with some stories to tell (like)
Remember last year when we couldn't leave town?
So we stayed up all night watching stars go 'round
And my car broke down on the side of the road
Didn't tell anybody, kept it on the low
And my pop told me, better get your degree
Make your life more easy, you can't do everything
But my heart is in this sound
And these kids need light right now

Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it all around, all around
Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it all around, all around
Before the Sun goes down
I'ma take this love and spread it
