Rockets

All this talking
About when days were new
Idealistic
Actions seemed so true
We felt stronger
Dreams had just begun
Burdens lighter
Before gravity won

So long ago
We lost our way
At the beginning
We should have stayed

Watching eyes towards
The heavens staring down
Waiting to see
Rockets cross the night
Our world changing
Do we even try?
Our fixation
The world passing by

So busy talking
Arguing so strong
We forgot meaning
Somewhere became wrong

When did we
Lose our sight
Of what our actions mean
When did we
Fall out of touch
With what it is to love

Are we somewhere in the atmosphere
Or have we missed the ride
When we lose sight of meaning
We're hallowed out inside
Like shooting stars we're burning up
Left in the rockets dust
When we argue as reason
We're broken and we're lost

Old age approaching
Scars come with it too
Love not in motion
Will turn black and blue
Hardness growing
Deep within our souls
Our hearts changing
Callused to our sin

Bitterness consumes
Makes us to stay
Stagnant we’re wasting
Set in our ways

When did we
Lose our sight
Of what our actions mean
When did we
Fall out of touch
With what it is to love
I’m sick of it
Of all of this
No more bitterness
Just love
