In a YouTube video, Andrew Discusses his trip to space, which inspired the song.
[Verse 1]
Symphony of starlight
The moon has come alive
Uncharted constellations
Call on me to find
Discoveries unwritten
And I can trace the line
To the new world, ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I'm gonna raze the sky (bright sky)
Gonna be out of sight
I’m bending space and time (spacetime)
I'm stepping out tonight, ooh yeah
[Verse 2]
Deeper than an ocean
Abyss to the divine
The ground so far below me
A cloud of smoke behind
Propels us to the future
As planets re-align
It's the new world, ooh yeah
[Chorus]
I’m gonna raze the sky (bright sky)
Gonna be out of sight
I'm bending space and time (spacetime)
I'm stepping out tonight, ooh yeah
[Bridge]
I'm leaving all of it behind
I'm reaching up to the divine
I know it's fated
I just need to make it
It's what I'm dreaming about
And they’re playing the count
And I’m leaving the ground
And I'm making it out
[Chorus]
I’m gonna raze the sky (bright sky)
Gonna be out of sight
I'm bending space and time (spacetime)
I'm stepping out tonight, ooh yeah
