[Intro epic, cinematic] Three men rise to touch the sky Hearts of fire, rockets fly Steel and lightning, burning bright They chase the stars into the night [Verse 1 driving, suspenseful] Countdown echoes through the air (5, 4, 3 ,2 ,1) Engines roar, they do not scare (Ingnition) History rides a silver flame The moon will never be the same [Chorus triumphant, anthemic] They’re flying high for all mankind Through the dark, the light they’ll find One small step, a giant leap We watched them walk into the deep [Verse 2 determined, bold] Eagle lands on silent moon Voices crack through dust at noon Flag is raised where none have stood Heroes made of flesh and blood [Chorus triumphant, anthemic] They’re flying high for all mankind Through the dark, the light they’ll find One small step, a giant leap We watched them walk into the deep [Bridge dramatic, slow build] The Earth held its breath In the silence of space Then came the words That time can't erase [Chorus triumphant, repeated] They’re flying high for all mankind Through the dark, the light they’ll find One small step, a giant leap We watched them walk into the deep [Outro soaring, cinematic] Back to Earth they came back free But they touched eternity With hearts ablaze they changed the night And left their footprints in the light [End]
