Believe it or not, I can write or speak using formal grammar, but cannot follow a discussion that uses such terms. I could not diagram a sentence if my life depended on it. :D

But I do not think you got the lyrics correct (I know somewhere the lyrics are transcribed). I think it goes, ...Rocket high, through the sky, for adventures soon you will face. & I cannot find any problem with that.

Hi Daniel!

Regarding Amazing Grace, I believe it was written by a slave trader some centuries ago. He became a Christian and wrote the song to express how amazing it was that he'd been forgiven for all the bad things he'd done.

This is my favourite verse:

When we've been there 10,000 years
Bright shining as the sun
We will all have gone insane
If we're with Brönimann
