The spaceman was strange
He wasn't quite the same
He dreamed of escape
In his sparkling cosmic cape

The planet was full
Of noisy things and fools
He was okay until
They asked him to play by their rules

A rocket bursting through the night
The spaceman waved his last goodbye
And they watched him explode into light

The people built walls
Surrounding their brains
They locked thoughts outside
To pretend they're sane

They bathed in the dark
They drowned out the spark
They cannot dream
What they might have been if they could have seen

A rocket bursting through the night
Imagination engines burning bright
The madman's dreams that were hidden from sight
Will one day explode into light

Are you trying to heed your calling
Are you flying or are you falling

Your brain is a dream engine of insanity
Ride your mind's stream
And break through the bounds of reality

The atmosphere won't hold you down
Abandon your fear
And blast off from the ground

A rocket bursting through the night
Imagination engines burning bright
The child's dreams that were hidden from sight
Now explode into light
