Out There
O.B.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drinking, thinking of the past
And all the things we've done
Hoping and remember
Everything is beautiful out there
Outside the atmosphere
That's where we want to be
The nature and the wild, wild life
But it can't beat the sight
From 20 miles above
Everything is beautiful out there
Outside the atmosphere
That's where we want to be
There is nothing like to be in zero G
The feeling's so intense, what a harmony
Doesn't matter that we've done it so many times
It is such a thrill and we'll do it again
Everything is beautiful out there
Outside the atmosphere
That's where we want to be
