When the Sky Hit Back — A Song Inspired by New England daylight meteor boom: NASA-confirmed fireball and loud boom heard across northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire on May 30 2026, possible meteorites in Cape Cod Bay

[Verse 1]
Two-eleven and the windows jumped
Like a giant put a fist through the blue
Coffee cups rang on the kitchen shelf
Every dog in town knew before we knew

Phones lit up with the same scared word
Was it thunder, was it steel, was it something worse?
Then the daylight showed its burning tooth
A little stone screaming through the roof of earth

[Pre-Chorus]
We all ran outside with our hearts in our hands
Listening for sirens, staring over the sand

[Chorus]
When the sky hit back, it shook the bay
Made every quiet room remember it was made of clay
When the sky hit back, we froze in place
A spark from nowhere left a bruise on the day
And after the fear, after the crack
We were small, we were alive
When the sky hit back

[Verse 2]
No warning name, no villain face
Just white fire taking one bright breath
Three feet wide and older than roads
Breaking into thunder over our heads

Somebody laughed when the danger passed
Somebody cried and blamed the floor
Some kids went searching the tide line rocks
For a piece of night that knocked on the door

[Pre-Chorus]
The world did not end, but it leaned in close
And whispered through glass what everybody knows

[Chorus]
When the sky hit back, it shook the bay
Made every quiet room remember it was made of clay
When the sky hit back, we froze in place
A spark from nowhere left a bruise on the day
And after the fear, after the crack
We were small, we were alive
When the sky hit back

[Bridge]
Maybe awe is just fear with the lights turned on
Maybe wonder is a bruise that blooms when the panic is gone
We build our roofs, we name our streets
Then heaven drops a match at our feet

[Final Chorus]
When the sky hit back, it shook the bay
Every locked-up heart came running awake
When the sky hit back, we learned our place
Dust with a pulse under infinite space
And after the fear, after the crack
We were small, we were alive
When the sky hit back

[Outro]
Small, alive
Under the black
Small, alive
When the sky hit back
