Not on the Rocket Ship (Remastered)

"Not on the Rocket Ship" (Verse 1) They told me to dream, but not too high, The stars were for others, not my sky. My hands were too rough, my voice too loud, They said I didn’t fit in their pristine crowd. (Pre-Chorus) But I see the engines light the night, Feel the tremble in my chest, it feels so right. Yet they turn their heads, they close the door, Lock me out like they’ve done before. (Chorus) I’m not on the rocket ship, I’m left behind, A scapegoat for their fragile minds. But I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the flame, Even grounded, I’ll rise just the same. I’m not on their rocket ship, but I’m free, They can’t take the universe from me. (Verse 2) They built their walls with fear and doubt, And painted me strange to shut me out. But every scar they gave, every name they threw, Just built a strength they never knew. (Pre-Chorus) Now I see the constellations clear, Feel the rhythm of the spheres, drawing near. They may cage the body, but not the soul, I’ll find my path beyond their control. (Chorus) I’m not on the rocket ship, I’m left behind, A scapegoat for their fragile minds. But I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the flame, Even grounded, I’ll rise just the same. I’m not on their rocket ship, but I’m free, They can’t take the universe from me. (Bridge) Every misfit, every black sheep, We’re the dreams they tried to keep. But the stars don’t choose who gets to shine, They’re waiting for all, your turn and mine. (Chorus) I’m not on the rocket ship, I’m left behind, A scapegoat for their fragile minds. But I’ve got the sky, I’ve got the flame, Even grounded, I’ll rise just the same. I’m not on their rocket ship, but I’m free, They can’t take the universe from me. (Outro) Let them rise to where they think they belong, My journey’s slower, but my spirit’s strong. I’m not on their rocket ship, and that’s okay, I’ll find my stars another way. Extension: "Another Way" (Verse 3) I found another way beneath the trees, In the whispers of the wind, the songs of the seas. Where every step’s a rhythm, every breath’s a prayer, And the stars are reflections of the love we share. (Pre-Chorus) I don’t need engines to soar the skies, When the universe blooms behind my eyes. Each heartbeat’s a journey, each thought’s a spark, Lighting galaxies deep within the dark. (Chorus) I’ve found another way, a boundless road, Where no one decides how my spirit flows. Through the soil, through the air, through the fire’s blaze, I rise in the light of my own ways. I’ve found another way, and now I see, The universe was always inside of me. (Bridge) It’s in the kindness we give, the dreams we weave, In the courage to hope, in the strength to believe. It’s in the hands that build, in the hearts that heal, In the quiet truths the stars reveal. (Chorus) I’ve found another way, a boundless road, Where no one decides how my spirit flows. Through the soil, through the air, through the fire’s blaze, I rise in the light of my own ways. I’ve found another way, and now I see, The universe was always inside of me. (Outro) Let them chase their rockets to the distant skies, I’ll walk among the stars where the earth meets the tide. For the journey is richer when it’s paved with grace, And the cosmos unfolds in every place. (Coda) Another way, it’s a love we share, A step, a spark, a whispered prayer. Not on the rocket ship, but still I soar, For the universe is mine forevermore. I'm not on the rocket ship Another way I'm not on the rocketship Rocketship Another way Rocketship I'm not on the rocket ship But I've found another way Another way (End)
