Blast off



I've learned 2 things
#1
You can't hit a great note
If you're afraid to hit all
The bad ones
#2
Never take advice
Never take council
Never believe
Someone...
That's never done
Or tried to do
what you're vision sees
They'll always leave you lost
Broken, in defeat
Crawling, in acceptance
Just because
They are blind
Doesn't mean... you need to put on their mask

Be a spark igniting
Blast off!

Fly into every galaxy
Sit on every planet sold
Grab all the stars
Lighting up; the unknown
Be a spark igniting
Blast off!
