[Verse 1]
Shoes on wrong feet
Backpack half-zipped
Snack in your teeth
Crayon on your cheek like war paint
You say
"I'm fast today
Faster than yesterday"

[Chorus]
Little rockets
Blasting down the hallway
Big dreams stuffed in a tiny lunch tray
You fall
You laugh
You try again
Little rockets
Counting down from ten
Go 10
9
8
7—run
You’re the loudest kind of sun

[Verse 2]
Cartwheels on the crooked grass
Grass stains
Missing class
Pocket full of rocks you call gold
You trade them like treasure
Like stories you’ll tell when you’re old
