[Verse 1]
Engines scream
Runway shaking under steel
Counting down
Every breath feels too real
Clouds tear open
Blue sky rips in half
Then the world
Shrinks into our past
[Chorus]
Rocket going up to space
Fire on the tail
Heartbeat race
Through the dark
Through the cold black air
Then we saw those eyes out there
Aliens burning holes in the night
Power like a storm
Ready to strike
But I rose up
Fists in the starlight
Superhero in the stars
Gonna win this fight (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Silver fleet
Circling the atmosphere
Planets shake
You can almost taste the fear
Laser scars
Etched across the moon
Earth below
Could be ending soon
[Chorus]
Rocket going up to space
Fire on the tail
Heartbeat race
Through the dark
Through the cold black air
Then we saw those eyes out there
Aliens burning holes in the night
Power like a storm
Ready to strike
But I rose up
Fists in the starlight
Superhero in the stars
Gonna win this fight
[Bridge]
I took the hit
Felt the cosmos bend
If this is it
Let me stand again
One last push
Through the blinding glow
“Not today”
I won’t let you go (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Rocket going up to space
Fire on the tail
Heartbeat race
Through the dark
Through the cold black air
But we’re not alone out there
Aliens falling back from the light
World still turning
We survived the night
‘Cause I stood up
Burning in starfire
Superhero in the stars
Lifting you higher
