Title: “Rocketing Through The Storm”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse1)
Dm G
On a dusty road, with burden in our heart
C A
Beneath a stormy sky, still we won’t fall apart
Dm G
We’re not afraid, we’ve seen it all before
C A
The Thunder roars, but we are set to soar
(Chorus)
Dm G
Rocketing through the storm, aiming for the stars
C A
Leaving the ground, breaking the bars
Dm G
With every beat, with every mile
C A
We are the determined missile, with a fiery smile
(Verse2)
Dm G
With the music as our fuel, the rhythm as our guide
C A
We are unstoppable, riding with the tide
Dm G
The world might try, to bring us down
C A
But we’ll rise above, we won’t let them see us frown
(Chorus repeats)
