The Astro Project

I'm tryna get to a place that's beyond the stars, like somewhere really far
Tip toeing outside of the atmosphere The stratosphere will even disappear where am at. Making Pluto so small I could swing at it with a bat or a racket it really don't matter I've had it. I wanna go. These clothes feel scratchy I'm tryna get me a robe
And Ima curl my little toes in the sand of never land, a trip that I never planned, does anyone understand
If you get it then come along, we ain't gotta travel alone. Tell a homie grab a friend, together just like we kin
Family matters, you can put that on Steve, always helping one another with a heart on our sleeves
It's simple, take a look the world around you. Everybody got a problem but don't know what to do. So we peddling our dreams and as we stare at our shoes. But get your eyes to the sky it's time to flip your world view

I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Up up and away)
I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Can you take me there)

Now tell me, tell me have you heard, the one about the storms and that big ol' bird
When the thunder get to clapping, and lighting spark bright. The eagles spread wing, rise up and take flight
When you staring at that struggle right dead in the face. Don't give in to your fears and get stuck in the same place
All of your situations have various angles. Ya that sounds obtuse but let me explain the dangers
One, Tunnel Vision limits your perspective
Two, Pride will leave you feeling disconnected, with your head in the clouds and your nose in the air, when you fall from your heights will anyone really care
Three, always thinking that you're in the trenches
Four, only watching life from the benches
Five, forgetting that there's more to life. And Facebook's news only shows you the one side

I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Up up and away)
I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Can you take me there)

She wanna go to a place where they know her name
He tryna go
He wanna get to to place where there ain't no pain
He tryna go
You wanna get to a place where there ain't no stress
You tryna go
I want get to a place where it all makes sense
I wanna go

I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Up up and away)
I wanna go higher
(I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go)
Higher (Can you take me there)

I know without a shadow of a doubt I was meant for more. But I could never see the potential I carried until I embraced my current position
I've learned to be content but never complacent. Never satisfied and never anxious, acceptant of lows, as they make the next summit that much more satisfying
This journey is long, tedious and at times, overwhelming. The smell of blood sweat and tears is often nauseating
No one could have ever described the varying levels of exhaustion I would face just after the intoxicating endorphins peaked. But somewhere along the road I found what many would call their identity
And for the first time in my whole life, I realized... that without purpose, I would have no idea which way I was going, let alone why
Now I definitely wouldn't claim to have it all figured out but.. I'm no longer worried about the sun forgetting to return the next day. Some promises are better kept nurtured deep inside of our souls, then paraded among those who only long for the shock and awe. Whatever we bind here on earth will be bound in heaven. And whatever we loose here on earth will be loosed in heaven
We've been given keys to the City. A high honor and great responsibility
Be vigilant, love mercy, and extend grace
We are the keepers, born of dirt, sealed in fire, established on stone
