Rocket Andrew Peterson

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And we're gonna see a rocket
We're gonna see a rocket
Blast through the last of the atmosphere
Oooo-oh, up and away to the great wide open
Adrift in an airless ocean
In a bliss of mystical motion
I am stuck down here
I'm stuck down here

[Verse 3]
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
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
