Rocket Science
It's fifty years since Sputnik, when the Russians shocked the worldWith an orb and two antennae Earth would never be the sameFueling our worst fears that we'd be vulnerable and weakIf we did not respond in kind, we'd lose the gameSo we got our act together, and Explorer One went flyingBut not before the Russians sent a dog up into spaceIf I said I knew why they thought dogs should fly, I would be lyingThey were caught up in some kind of human raceA race to the furthest starA race to the galaxies aboveIf a little bit of fear can go so farImagine what a world could do with loveGagarin took a spin around the globe in 61 andHe was followed ten months later by an astronaut named GlennAlexei took a spacewalk, Captain Kirk, he took our TVAnd I've never been the same since thenA race to the furthest starA race to the galaxies aboveIf a little bit of dreaming goes so farImagine what a world could do with loveImagine human footprints on a distant lunar planeLetras de cancionesImagine floating science labs where gravity is goneImagine the potential that our species could containIf we were drawn to love againI heard a scientist declare the world as we know itIs destined to be swallowed up in some gigantic holeAnd nothing that you do on earth will outlast or survive thisIs there any point in trying to take control?Just another baby boomer, writing poemsPutting flowers into rifles, hugging trees and singing songsAnd the questions in the air aren't rocket scienceWhat's the point and where on Earth do we belong?In our race to the furthest starA race to the galaxies aboveIf a little bit of vision goes so so farImagine what a world could do with love
