Verse 

Em              G 
Fell out of the sky 
D             C  
Hit the ground runnin’ 
Em            G   
The future is tonight  
D                    C                     
They’ll never see us comin’ 
Em             G  
Takin’ by this urgency 
D                     C  
Won’t let this moment pass  
Em             G 
The Kingdom is alive  
N.A 
We’re steppin’ on the gas

Em                               G

We’re droppin’ in
