Rocket
by Charlie Peacock

Album: Strangelanguage

Something's wrong, and it's not right,
I don't understand what's going on,
It's in me and it's in you...it's in everyone.

Still, it rocks my world, turns my head around,
It's an awful sound,
I am curious and compelled to follow,
Watch my brother swallow the bitter pill.

"Keep the tongue in check," they say, "the situation is complex,"
But if you thought that pill was bitter, wait 'til you see the side effects.

That's a rocket down to the ground,
That's a rocket down to the ground,
That's a rocket down to the ground,
Jesus, in your mercy, make it fly again,
And in the pace of shame, glorify your name.

Something's wrong, and it's not right,
I don't understand what's going on,
It's in me and it's in you...it's in everyone.

Still, it rocks my world, it turns my head around,
It's an awful sound,
I am curious and compelled to follow,
Watch my brother swallow the bitter pill.

And when my eyes have seen enough and when my tongue has rambled on,
When I've kicked the dirt in disgust, when I've finished my little song...

Maybe then I'll love mercy more than being right,
Maybe then I'll show mercy to the rocket that fell down to the ground.

That's a rocket down to the ground,
That's a rocket down to the ground,
That's a rocket down to the ground,
Jesus, in your mercy, make it fly again,
In the pace of shame, glorify your name.

That's a rocket down to the ground, (that's a rocket)
That's a rocket, (that's a rocket down to the ground)
That's a rocket, (that's a rocket down to the ground)
That's a rocket, (that's a rocket down to the ground)
That's a rocket down to the ground, down to the ground, down to the ground,
(etc, fade)
