Space Odyssey

[Chorus:]

In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon

Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb

We journeyed cross the great wall

Plain beneath the mountain range

And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange

[Verse 1:]

This beacon had a field of force, that circled all around

And not a man could get inside, no way could be found

It was here for thousands of years before our life began

Waiting very patiently for evolving man

When the galaxy was young they looked upon the earth

And saw that its position was promising for birth

They searched for life but finding none they left a beacon bright

Its signal had not been disturbed in the eternal light

How wise they were to choose this place

They knew when we arrived

That our atomic energy, we'd harnessed and survived

I look out on the milky way for people of the dawn

I know that they will come some day but will our wait be long?

[Chorus]
