Connor Byers - Rocketships (Solo) Lyrics

When I was young I'd stare at the stars
I built a rocket ship, and I sailed it to mars
I said hi and she gave me her heart
And in this big, big world she helped me see through the dark
And I said la da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
I journeyed on, past the sun
I met all of the planets I greeted one by one
We stayed around and we laughed and cried
And through it all, I felt this warm feeling deep inside
And I sang la da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
And time went by and it was time to go
So I gathered up my things and set off for the road
I turned around and waved goodbye to all my friends
And said when tomorrow comes I will see you all again
And I cried la da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
As time goes on, memories fade to dust
I watched my rocketship fade from color into rust
It fell apart and my life moved on
I brought in all the things of older cause my younger days were gone
And sometimes I can't concentrate cause all that's good is gone
And sometimes I don't know who I am, cause that's all I ever was
And oh the lord knows id take it all back if I could
If I could, if I could you know I would
And I'll sing la da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
La da da da da
What it is to be alive, what it is to be alive
