lyrics
We landed on the moon in July of ‘69
We come in peace for all mankind
How long and dark a journey seems before the day is through
Small steps can be the start of something new
Looking out over a long-dead scene
A beautiful desolation of unknowns
Yet the very fact that we are here to see such empty wastes
Is surely bringing life to these dry bones
Some say we shouldn’t waste our time
Reaching for the stars
First fix the mess we’re living in,
Keep your feet upon the ground
But I say living without a dream
Isn’t really life at all,
And striving in and of itself
Is a goal that means much more.
We come in peace for all mankind
How long and dark a journey seems before the day is through
Small steps can be the start of something new
Looking out over a long-dead scene
A beautiful desolation of unknowns
Yet the very fact that we are here to see such empty wastes
Is surely bringing life to these dry bones
Some say we shouldn’t waste our time
Reaching for the stars
First fix the mess we’re living in,
Keep your feet upon the ground
But I say living without a dream
Isn’t really life at all,
And striving in and of itself
Is a goal that means much more.
