One Small Step Lyrics

15, 14, 13, 12, 11 (Procedure), 10, 9, (Engines on) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go.

Projectory'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...
