"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."
|
|
[Edward Reekers, Lana Lane]
|
|
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
|
|
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
