Story Behind The Song

Vocal version of an instrumental I wrote last year.

Lyrics

T Minus 30 seconds counting ignition sequence and the sparks are flying
Now the ship begins to leave to climb up to the heaven's high
Now they're fighting gravity setting fire to the sky
Shattering airwaves all eyes are pointed to the great big sky

Thunderous like the world is ending soon to leave the atmosphere
Wondrous now they're disappearing destination No Fear

We need to see a
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight

Throttle up into new dimension 28 North now just a memory
And the solids are long gone heading for the water below
As the sky turns to dark heading for a rendezvous
No going back now got the country and the world to show

Critical moments are a knife edge now we've left the atmosphere
Telling myself that all the training leaves no room for fear

We need to see a
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight

All systems go we are approaching soon to match their atmosphere
Bringing science to a new place breaking ground up here

We need to see a
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky in flight Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
Rocket to the Sky at Night Rocket to the Sky Out of Sight
