Rocket

Oh the sight of the mighty machine

The iron shine of a golden dream

On the edge of the ocean

A potential explosion

Stands so tall and so serene

So serene

I've got two little boys and a girl in bows

We were first in line just to see the show

To count down the seconds

As destiny beckons

Into the arms of the astral glow

And we're gonna see a rocket

We're gonna see a rocket blast

Through the last of the atmosphere

Ooh, up and away to the great wide open

Adrift in an airless ocean

In a bliss of mystical motion

I'm stuck down here

I'm stuck down here

Just look at the ground on the grassy hill

It'll lift you up but it holds you still

'Cause gravity binds us

But glory defines us

It's the greater pull of a perfect will

And they say the ground is gonna

Quake and groan

They say the sound's

Gonna shake my bones

It's so full of meaning

Alive and careening

Into the grace of the great unknown

We're gonna see a rocket

We're gonna see a rocket blast

Through the last of the atmosphere

Ooh, up and away to the great wide open

Adrift in an airless ocean

In a bliss of mystical motion

I'm stuck down here

I'm stuck down here

We stood among the multitude

We saw the rocket rise in a fiery hue

It defied destruction to ride the eruption

That I have found this much is true

Love alone can carry you

Oh, love alone. Love alone

Oh, love along can carry, carry you up

And away to the great wide open

Adrift in an endless ocean

In a bliss of mystical motion

I have found this much is true

Oh, love alone

Love alone can carry you

Oh, love alone can carry you

Up and away to the great wide open

We're gonna see a rocket

We're gonna see a rocket

Up and away to the great wide open

We're gonna see a rocket rise

Up and away to the great wide open

We're gonna see a rocket

We're gonna see a rocket

Up and away to the great wide open

We're gonna see a rocket rise
