Space Odyssey

[Chorus:] In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb We journeyed cross the great wall Plain beneath the mountain range And there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange [Verse 1:] This beacon had a field of force, that circled all around And not a man could get inside, no way could be found It was here for thousands of years before our life began Waiting very patiently for evolving man When the galaxy was young they looked upon the earth And saw that its position was promising for birth They searched for life but finding none they left a beacon bright Its signal had not been disturbed in the eternal light How wise they were to choose this place They knew when we arrived That our atomic energy, we'd harnessed and survived I look out on the milky way for people of the dawn I know that they will come some day but will our wait be long? [Chorus]
