Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big ball of rocks and water
Spinning 'round in space
Blue green and made of magic
Miracles on miracles on miracles with miracles inside
Why would you kill it?
[Verse 2]
Be hard on yourself
You've been spoilt for years
Be hard on yourself
You'll be glad you did
You'll be glad you did
[Verse 3]
Something to pull the sheep across the field
Bag of grass and straw
How can it keep growing?
How can it keep growing?
[Verse 4]
Be hard on yourself
You've been spoilt for years
Be hard on yourself
You'll be glad you did
You'll be glad you did
[Verse 5]
Run towards the things that scare ya
I dare ya
There's a tear in the big picture
Can't burn it
Got to fix it
Heard you say life's what you settle for
Nobody told you
Less can be more
[Verse 6]
Strap in
Get ready
Foot down
Push the button
Blow it all up
And be hard on yourself
[Verse 7]
Strap in
Get ready
Foot down
Push the button
Blow it all up
And be hard on yourself
