The Space Race Is Over [#][*][Demo Version]
When I was young I told my mumI'm going to walk on the Moon somedayArmstrong and Aldrin spoke to meFrom Houston and Cape KennedyAnd I watched the Eagle landingOn a night when the Moon was fullAnd as it tugged at the tides, I knew deep insideI too could feel its pullI lay in my bed and dreamed I walkedOn the Sea of TranquillityI knew that someday soon we'd all sail to the moonOn the high tide of technologyBut the dreams have all been takenAnd the window seats taken tooAnd 2001 has almost come and goneWhat am I supposed to do?Now that the space race is overIt's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moonBecause the space race is overAnd I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soonNow my dreams have all been shatteredAnd my wings are tattered tooAnd I can still fly but not half as highLetras de cancionesAs once I wanted toNow that the space race is overIt's been and it's gone and I'll never get to the moonBecause the space race is overAnd I can't help but feel we've all grown up too soonMy son and I stand beneath the great night skyAnd gaze up in wonderI tell him the tale of Apollo And he says"Why did they ever go?"It may look like some empty gestureTo go all that way just to come backBut don't offer me a place out in cyberspace'Cause where in the hell's that at?Now that the space race is overIt's been and it's gone and I'll never get out of my roomBecause the space race is overAnd I can't help but feel we're all just going nowhere From Letras Mania
