Lyrics

[00:07.582] We meet in an hour of change and challenge
[00:11.413] In a decade of hope and fear
[00:21.982] In an age of both knowledge and ignorance
[00:30.055] The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds
[00:45.507] The eyes of the world are now looking to space
[00:56.464] To the moon, and to the planets beyond
[01:03.902] And we have vowed
[01:06.622] That we shall not see it governed.By a hostile flag of conquest
[01:11.919] But by a banner of freedom and peace
[01:28.789] We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things
[01:33.700] Not because they are easy, but because they are hard
[01:45.325] Many years ago, Great British explorer George Mallory
[01:50.693] Who was to die on Mount Everest
[01:53.408] Was asked 'why did he want to climb it?
[02:01.118] He said 'because it is there
[02:05.983] Well space is there and we're going to climb it
[02:12.031] And the moon and the planets are there
[02:16.667] And new hopes for knowledge and peace are there
[02:21.172] And therefore as we set sail we ask God's blessing
[02:25.846] On the most hazardous, and dangerous, and greatest adventure.On which man has ever embarked
[02:32.003] Thank you
