[Verse 1] Pack the soil in a silver crate Tape the dreams to a launch-day date I got your name on the hatch tonight And a map full of red dust light Suit up slow in the mirrored bay Count the miles while the engines pray We leave deep marks in a dead old land New boots first, then a steady hand [Pre-Chorus] Hold on tight We’re crossing over Hold your breath Till the sky gets lower [Chorus] Colonize the space Put a home up there Colonize the space Make a life from air One small flame In a long black grace Colonize the space Colonize the space [Verse 2] Plant the flags by the crater rim Build a door where the storm gets in Stack the panels, line by line Turn that cold into a place to shine Wake up kids in a dome-lit dawn Learn the stars like a neighbor’s lawn If the ground don’t fit, we’ll make it bend Start a world from a broken end [Pre-Chorus] Hold on tight We’re crossing over Hold your breath Till the sky gets lower [Chorus] Colonize the space Put a home up there Colonize the space Make a life from air One small flame In a long black grace Colonize the space Colonize the space [Bridge] Out past fear Past the old blue line We don’t beg for room We draw our own this time Raise that dome Let it glow like a sign We were made to go And make a place to find [Chorus] Colonize the space Put a home up there Colonize the space Make a life from air One small flame In a long black grace Colonize the space Colonize the space
