It's a long,
long road
To leave our planet's hold.
Destined to reach our goal
Refrain
Walk step by step
Mile by dusty mile
'Till the stars we've won
Journey's done.
As we look
to our past
It took sweat and grit to last.
Da Vinci knew it could be done
Refrain
Brothers
Montgolfier
Were first to find a way
Balloons rising with the new day.
Refrain
December
1903
The Wrights learned to fly free
And gave the gift to you and me.
Refrain
Vostok,
Mercury
Soyuz, Gemini-
Orbit the skies and see
Refrain
You know
the road is long and hard
With pitfalls in the way.
And for some the burden is heavy and long
And high is the price they paid.
But for
all those we've lost
And for all those we've won
We'll remember them long
We'll remember out past our Sun.
Apollo and
Moon-land
Mir, Ariane
Columbia glides in to land
Refrain
Throughout
history
We've strived to rise and see
Achieve orbit- then go free!
