Lyrics
It’s dragging you down You can’t lift off the ground But what if you found Parts of your confidence scattered all around Flying high In the sky Blaze a trail With a comet’s tail Jettison mediocrity And reach escape velocity The countdown begins You’re extending your wings The siren sings Pressing the button; who knows what the future brings Flying high In the sky Blaze a trail With a comet’s tail Jettison mediocrity And reach escape velocity Reach for the stars No matter who you are To limits unseen You’re not just where you’ve been Altering your philosophy To reach escape velocity Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Take it all in Pulsars Quasars Neutron stars Red giant White dwarf Venus and Mars The Oort Cloud The Moon Cassiopeia Aurora Dancing In the Earth’s atmosphere Flying high In the sky Blaze a trail With a comet’s tail Jettison mediocrity And reach escape velocity Reach for the stars No matter who you are To limits unseen You’re not just where you’ve been Altering your philosophy To reach escape velocity Flying high In the sky Blaze a trail With a comet’s tail Jettison mediocrity And reach escape velocity Reach for the stars No matter who you are To limits unseen You’re not just where you’ve been Altering your philosophy To reach escape velocity
