Did you read the paper?
They'll be coming for us soon
Come on rocket, we're going to the moon
We could shoot for the sun but that'd be too soon
So one step at a time, let's get the moon
Since you were a thought
Floating around in our minds
We knew that you could teach us
The true meaning of life
Is to try without fire
And blast through all our fears
You can fly so much higher
And take us all from here
Did you read the paper?
They'll be coming for us soon
Come on rocket, we're going to the moon
We could shoot for the sun but that'd be too soon
So one step at a time, let's get the moon
You could not be bought, boy
You'd be sold out all the time
Who wouldn't queue and long for
The vital meaning of life
Which is to ride heart and mind
And learn along the way
Find our stride inside
With no turbulence or sway
Did you read the paper?
They'll be coming for us soon
Come on rocket, we're going to the moon
We could shoot for the sun but that'd be too soon
So one step at a time, let's get the moon
Your the one, I promise you
Love is your rocket fuel
Nothing is stopping you
You're special
Keep climbing, impossible
At thousands of altitude
Isn't that what God would do?
You're special
Did you read the paper?
They'll be coming for us soon
Come on rocket, we're going to the moon
We could shoot for the sun but that'd be too soon
So one step at a time, let's get the moon
Did you read the paper?
They'll be coming for us soon
Come on rocket, we're going to the moon
We could shoot for the sun but that'd be too soon
So one step at a time, let's get the moon
About This Song

Pharrell crafts lyrics about taking gradual steps toward lofty goals ("one step at a time, let's get the moon") while addressing themes of potential, fear, and transformation through the symbolic "rocket" that represents both a person's inner drive and capacity to inspire others. The song blends Pharrell's signature optimistic production style with introspective rap verses, creating a dreamy yet grounded sound that encourages listeners to "blast through all our fears." Its distinctive approach lies in combining cosmic imagery with deeply personal themes about realizing potential and finding life's true meaning through courage and perseverance. The track stands out for its gentle wisdom and hopeful tone, typical of Pharrell's ability to make profound messages feel accessible and uplifting.
