The dawn of a new day is breaking
An age of discovery is taking
Humans to the open skies
Pushing us to climb new heights
In the wake of Vostok
An urgency emerged that sour curiosity
And breathed inspiration
Into our hearts
And in the year of ‘69
We again made history in the blink of an eye
One small step for man
And a giant leap for mankind
Words that will forever echo on
Through all that lies ahead
And just like Apollo
Into the great unknown we'll follow
To launch the tale
That never ends
Always strive to raise the bar
Join Viking 1 on Mars
So much awaits for us to see
Far beyond our galaxy
Time to launch the shuttle now
Hold your breath as we count down
Blast off into outer space
Unsure of what well face
An interstellar tour awaits
Towards Voyager well race
One small step for man
And a giant leap for mankind
Words that will forever echo on
Through all that lies ahead
And just like Apollo
Into the great unknown we'll follow
To launch the tale
That never ends
Onward we roam through the stars
(The eagle has landed)
Hear them calling
(Into the unknown)
So inviting, though frightening
How far can we go?
(Though just a small step for man)
We will know
(A giant leap for mankind)
When we travel
Further out, ever on
On and on we persevere
Farther through the last frontier
For the next discovery
Unveil another mystery
And though the skeptics say we'll falter
To doubt we never will surrender
Push on, carry on
By words we shall not be deterred
We'll stand triumphant
As we claim our place in the universe
One small step for man
And a giant leap for mankind
Words that will forever echo on
Through all that lies ahead
And just like Apollo
Into the great unknown we'll follow
To launch the tale
That never ends
