Take Off for Science

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You showed me how a tiny seed Can split the earth and rise How far-off planets keep their paths Across the patient skies You made a question feel like flight A spark I could pursue And every answer opened up A hundred more with you [Chorus] Take off, take off—we’re learning as we go Thank you for the wonder and the things you helped us know From the first bright question to the wide unknown We’ll carry what you taught us wherever we may roam [Verse 2] We watched the colors cross the glass And measured drops of rain You let us test, revise, begin And try the test again No perfect map, no final page Just courage to explore You gave our curious minds a key And left us wanting more [Chorus] Take off, take off—we’re learning as we go Thank you for the wonder and the things you helped us know From the first bright question to the wide unknown We’ll carry what you taught us wherever we may roam [Bridge] For every patient answer For every “try once more” You made the world feel larger Than we had seen before [Final Chorus] Take off, take off—we’re learning as we go Thank you for the wonder and the things you helped us know From the first bright question to the wide unknown We’ll carry what you taught us wherever we may roam [Outro] Thank you for the questions Thank you for the view We’re taking off for science And we’re taking off with you
