Did we fly to the moon too soon

Did we squander the chance

In the rush of the race

The reason we chase is lost in romance

And still we try

To justify the waste

For a taste of man's greatest adventure

Have we lost what it takes to advance

Have we peaked too soon

If the world is so great

Then why does it scream under a blue moon

We wonder why

If the earth's sacrificed

For the price of its greatest treasure

And when we shoot for the stars

What a giant step

Have we got what it takes

To carry the weight of this concept

Or pass it by

Like a shot in the dark

Miss the mark with a sense of adventure
