[Intro]
Light from the oven glows like a distant sun
A retired astronaut hums, apron on, heart tuned to space
[Verse 1]
He traded his jet for a rolling pin, damp with flour
Stars fade behind him, dough climbs like a breeze in zero gravity
Layer by layer, he rehearses a mission of taste
Kneading the cosmos into butter and dough, stubborn and brave
[Pre-Chorus]
If this dough could rise on a solar wind
Maybe patience is the fuel he finally believes in
[Chorus]
Croissant, rise with the dawn's soft flare
He hums through the oven, a steady prayer
Crumbly, flaky, so heavenly!
In every bite, a small comet dares
[Verse 2]
The lamination folds like space-time, patient and slow
Butter whispers secrets of galaxies as it shivers cold
Clock ticks loud, a countdown to a perfect puff
He watches the oven light bloom, a beacon in the night
[Pre-Chorus]
If a crescent could guide him home at last
He trusts the dough to float him past the past
[Chorus]
Croissant, rise with the dawn's soft flare
He hums through the oven, a steady prayer
Crumbly, flaky, so heavenly!
On the plate, a new frontier appears
[Bridge]
Memories of launch windows flash in the steam
The spoon becomes a compass, the whisk a rocket scream
He waits for the perfect lift, breath held tight
[Chorus]
Croissant, rise with the dawn's soft flare
He hums through the oven, a steady prayer
Crumbly, flaky, so heavenly!
Docked at last, the cosmos fits inside
[Outro]
The oven sighs, mission complete
A baker among stars, finding home in butter and heat
