In that great journey of the stars through space
About the mighty, all-directing sun
The pallid, faithful moon
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
And do the other things
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
We choose to go to the moon
In that great journey of the stars through space
About the mighty, all-directing sun
The pallid, faithful moon
Has been the one companion of the Earth
Her tender face shines ever on her lover as they run
And lights his orbit with her silvery smile
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
And do the other things
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
We choose to go to the moon
In that great journey of the stars through space
About the mighty, all-directing sun
The pallid, faithful moon
We choose to go to the moon
