Well i guess you could make it about Jesus. But I know for a fact that my professor was the one that led Michael to Christ. He has even written books with him and this song is the story of how he met my professor.
@aaronscrewme He is a professor at Bethel College, he was the one that led Michael W Smith to Christ. He was my professor at college. Amazing Man. This song was written about him.
@pheiple10 What? No. This song is about Jesus, not your professor. It's about what it would be like if Jesus had come to earth in this present time. Look it up.
I will always remember listening to this song on the way school every morning and my mom telling me that "worldly" music never could sound this good. Thanks for broadening my musical knowledge mom....great track and it's kinda deep too
He sounded so different back then I totally love this song when he stops and says " hangin round by the streetlight in the heart of the nightlight " awesome . God bless
@audiophile55 its the story of the world, rocketown is the world and the man was jesus and it spoke of how he left this earth but he is still in our hearts
Very nice mix of videos and images to a great song. It fits very well as a display of the city MWS sings about. And a nice touch with the Psalm, although I don't understand a word in portugese I could identify it was some Psalm before the title came in.
I was like 4 or 5 yrs. old singing along to this song back in the day. It's been years since i've heard this song. Thank You SO MUCH for posting this!!
What a great song and video. I loved this song as a child and em so glad I could hear it again, and see the video now that I am older. What a great artist.
excellent video, thank you.

christwall is right,
a "'rocket'' stands for speed everything fast and careless it will go his way and not another if its not guided by a computer
people nowadays , live also in te fast lane and they go THEIR way and not another if they are not guided by GOD.
rockettown is a symbol for the fast world we live in.
