Rocketship
What's gone wrong in our world?
 How did things get this way?
 Families torn by divorce
 Little boys and girls asking why daddy went away
 And teenagers wondering why their parents are like this
 Life is hard enough without the yelling and the fights
 Has the world broken itself too much to be fixed?
 Can anyone make this right?
 
 Let's me and you get on a rocket ship
 Fly away until this world gets its act together
 Let's fly so far away on a rocket ship
 We only really need each other
 We'll fly far away from this world for a better one
 We'll fly far away cause it's much too far to run
 To get away from here for a better place
 Let's me and you fly away, let's fly away
 
 And what's with all this selfish hate?
 How did things get so bad?
 I'm sure it used to be great
 And no one cried because no one had to feel sad
 Now we're hearing stories of murder and broken families
 Torn apart and burned to the ground by someone else's greed
 Why should children wonder if they'll make it through the night?
 Can anyone make this right?
 
 Let's me and you get on a rocket ship
 Fly away until this world gets its act together
 Let's fly so far away on a rocket ship
 We only really need each other
 We'll fly far away from this world for a better one
 We'll fly far away cause it's much too far to run
 To get away from here for a better place
 Let's me and you fly away, let's fly away
 
 I'd love to see the day when things got better
 But I'm sick of the pain of watching it all fall apart
 I'd rather run away, just me and you together
 With none of this evil to break our heart
 Yeah it's just one heart because you and I are one
 We'll fly away on a rocket ship because it's too far to run
 To get away from the world that we once knew
 I'm ready for departure but I just won't leave without you
 
 Let's me and you get on a rocket ship
 Fly away until this world gets its act together
 Let's fly so far away on a rocket ship
 We only really need each other
 We'll fly far away from this world for a better one
 We'll fly far away cause it's much too far to run
 To get away from here for a better place
 Let's me and you fly away, let's fly away
