Lyrics:

Verse 1:
The sun walks on water
And he always follows you
The son of heaven’s daughter
Jupiter and Zeus
And although they go to slaughter
Sheep follow one after another

Chorus:
And I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the globe
Are there really lights that fall
Down like they do in the Truman Show
I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the stars
Do they really sell out to Saturn
Are they really 30 Seconds to Mars

Verse 2:
And who was doing black magic 
In the desert of Arizona
Conjuring up demons 
And sending them through portals, at you
Rockets are shooting up and
Exploding into dust
And switching the cameras….

Chorus:
And I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the globe
Are there really lights that fall
Down like they do in the Truman Show
I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the stars
Do they really sell out to Saturn
Are they really 30 Seconds to Mars

Bridge:
And what if movies tell the truth
And the schoolbooks tell the lie
And it’s all in front of you
But controls are in your mind
And the archons need the loosh
And the world is run by crime
And they hide behind the news
And the religion is science?
Damn.

Chorus:
And I don’t wanna another fake religion
I just wanna know what books are under the Vatican
What’s happening?
I don’t wanna another fake religion
I just wanna know if there were really giants
Roaming Zion in the time before the flood
And I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the globe
Are there really lights that fall
Down like they do in the Truman Show
I don’t want another fake religion
I just wanna know the truth about the stars
Do they really sell out to Saturn
Are they really 30 Seconds to Mars

Lyrics:

I need to ease my mind I’m going for a ride 
And I don’t know where I’ll end up
I’m looking for a sign to come down from the sky
Cuz nothing else has really helped
And I don’t know the distance it will take 
To find the cure I’m missing
Maybe it’s in the blur, of

The open road
Take me to the middle of my nowhere
And save me from the riddles I can’t solve here
And take me home
To the place that’s still inside me that’s a warrior
And moving forward with a lighter load
On the open road

With thoughts like wildfire
Blocking out the sunshine
I’m running with the animals
Hear the engine whining 
Letting go of timing
Let it be instinctual
And I can hear the mountains alking to me
And the grass is waving
I think I’m getting closer, on

The open road
Take me to the middle of my nowhere
And save me from the riddles I can’t solve here
And take me home
To the place that’s still inside me that’s a warrior
And moving forward with a lighter load
On the open road

Ohhh – woahhhh, take me home, open road
Ohhh, I need to feel a lighter load
Ohhh – woahhhh, take me home, open road
Ohhh, I need to feel a lighter load
There’s only so much I can bare
When I’m here can’t help but care
Maybe there’s something out there

On the open road
Take me to the middle of my nowhere
And save me from the riddles I can’t solve here
And take me home
To the place that’s still inside me that’s a warrior
And moving forward with a lighter load
On the open road

"2020 Vision" by crossover artist Melaku.

Lyrics:
It’s a new day in the USA
People keep rocking their stress away
And its useless
To hear you say it’s not
Cuz it’s a new year and it’s here to stay 
Not gonna be any other way
And the truth
Is in front of me
I know it
I’m seeing 2020 vision

When the ball came down to the count of 1
I knew it then
When confetti drowned my senses oh
I knew it then
When the crowd was losing control 
I was in the center zone
Knowing we can take em all 

It’s a new day in the USA
No longer taking that ___ no way
And we’ll prove that we’re gonna 
Blaze our glory
Cuz it’s a new year and it’s here to stay 
Not gonna be any other way
And the truth
Is that we’re making 
A new story
I’m seeing 2020 vision

When I closed my eyes and raised my hands
I saw it then
The red white and blue flag
I saw it then
When division took a heavy toll
I was in the center zone
Knowing we’re together 
More than we’ll ever know 

You just gotta see beyond it (ba do da ba-oooohhh)
I think you can see my point, haaa (
I don’t think that we’re in pieces
I think you can see my reasons

Cuz 
It’s a new day in the USA
People are rocking their stress away
And its useless
To tell me to feel any other way, ooh baby
Cuz it’s a new year and it’s here to stay 
Not gonna be any other way
And the truth
Is in front of me
I know it
I’m seeing 2020 vision 

(Instrumental Break)

It’s a new day in the USA
It’s a new year and it’s here to stay
I know it
I’m seeing #2020Vision

Melaku - “America”

Melaku is an artist, songwriter and producer from Santa Cruz, CA.  Inspired by the classics, he creates spiritually infused pop music with a message.  His music journey began early; writing and singing before the age of 5, picked up the drums at 10, and started recording himself at 13.  He co-founded a recording program in High School, while recording bands and artists in the area. 

Melaku attended to Columbia University, where he continued recording songs in his dorm on campus.  After interning at SONY Music, Jive Records, his original songs landed him a management deal that lead to writing songs with various major label producers.  After completing his BA, Melaku spent many summers in LA in writing sessions, while defining his own sound as an artist. 

Melaku began releasing his original music on major streaming services in 2018, and has since received positive coverage from publications like BuzzMusic, AnR Factory, With Guitars Magazine, Tattoo Magazine, The Indie Source, The Big Takeover, For Folk's Sake, and Consequence Of Sound.  His songs have also charted on indie radio around the USA.  In 2025, Melaku is continuing to release music that nods to the classic sounds of the past, while remaining firmly rooted in the present.
