Geck-o - Space Pilot (Reprise) lyrics

Our presence in space is affecting not only the engineers
And the mathematicians and the scientists
It's affecting the creative dimension of that which we call culture
We are living it at every turn
What happened in December 1968?
How do you cap off that year?
Apollo 8
Most people never heard of it
Oh wait, what's that?
Excuse me, that was the first time
Anybody's ever left Earth with a destination
Photo of Earth, rising over the lunar landscape
That photo, we all know it, earthrise over the Moon
There was Earth, seen not as the mapmaker would have you identify it
No, the countries were not colour-coded with boundaries
It would seem as nature intended it to be viewed
Ocean, land, clouds
We went to the Moon and we discovered Earth
I claim we discovered Earth for the first time

There was Earth, it was seen as nature intended it to be viewed
We went to the Moon and we discovered Earth
I claim we discovered Earth for the first time
