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...

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...
