 It is the 20th century. I am a little boy peacefully asleep. My father comes to wake me so that I can witness an historic event in the finite story of mankind...
15, 14, 13, 12, 11 (Procedure), 10, 9, (Engines on) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go.
Trajectory's good, thrust is good.
We're on our way Houston!
Over the backside of the moon...
On an early summer morning, July '69
As I dream of the planets
I hear a voice softly whisper: "Son, it is time
It's happening soon"
It's a quarter to four now and he carries me down
To our place by the telly
I see lights on in houses all over town
For the man on the Moon
One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed
The Eagle has landed
I go back to my warm bed, back to my dreams
But not the one of the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be
The man on the Moon
One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed
The Eagle has landed
As I lie here in this cold tank, living a dream
I'm the last on the planets
I decided this morning I don't want to be
The man on Mars
One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed...
One small step for man
But a giant leap for mankind
The mighty Apollo prevailed
This is gonna be a rock and roll ride...
