Andrew Peterson - Rocket lyrics

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
O-o-o-o 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

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

We're gonna see a rocket
We're gonna see a rocket
Blast through the last of the atmosphere
O-o-o-o 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

We stood among the multitude
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
To drift 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
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
