Pretty cool!
I’d like to hear it in a couple different genres to see what suits it best.

I’m torn on this one. Its such a cool idea and the song flows so well and has a nice theme you’re reaching towards. But I can’t get past the last line of a chorus pulling me so far away from the rest of the chorus.

Maybe if both chorus call out Rock Rock Rocketship afterword as well as the outro. Then maybe you can just use “beneath your rocket ship” in the chorus.

Then again… I could be totally off my rock rock rocker lol smile

Rock Rock Rocketship

Written by Heather Platania

Rock Rock Rocket Ship
Written By: John Coughlin & Heather Platania

Verse 1
You were born to chase the light,
Dreamin’ bigger than this town.
I can see that fire in your eyes,
And I won’t try to pull you down.
You’re reachin’ past what most folks see,
But you still have a piece of me.

Pre-Chorus
I’ll be right here wishin’ you well,
When you lift off, I can tell

Chorus
All systems go
Heart wide open, don’t look below
Gravity can’t keep your soul confined,
You’re made for the stars, not the county line.
So let the heavens see you fly
I’ll be the voice sayin’ “you got this”
From the ground beneath your rock rock, rocket ship!
Rock rock, rocket ship

Verse 2
Every dreamer needs some space,
To find their sky and leave their trace.
If this love’s the fuel you need,
Then baby, go on, take the lead.
I’ll catch your trail when you swing back ’round,
Still proud of the fire we found.

Pre-Chorus
Yeah, it hurts but I understand,
You can’t hold a comet in your hand.

Chorus
All systems go
Heart wide open, don’t look below
Gravity can’t keep your soul confined,
You’re made for the stars, not the county line.
So let the heavens see you fly
I’ll be the voice sayin’ “you got this”
From the ground beneath your rock rock, rocket ship!

Bridge
Maybe someday our worlds will meet,
Where sky and heart collide in beat.
Till then I’ll cheer from where I stand,
Love that’s real don’t need command.

Final Chorus
All systems go
You’re lighting up that open road
Every dream you chase, I’ll keep in sight,
A prayer for you in every night.
The galaxy is yours, the heavens are mine,
I’ll see you there when the stars align.
In your Rock rock, rocket ship!

Rock rock rocket ship!
Rock rock rocket ship!
Fuel it up and let it rip
Rock rock rocket ship!

(Fade out echo)
Rock rock rocket ship… (rock rock rocket ship…)
