Fire in the Sky

Prometheus, they say, brought God’s fire down to man
And we’ve caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began.
Now we’re goin’ back to Heaven, just to look him in the eye:
There’s a thunder ‘cross the land
And a fire in the sky!
Gagarin was the first, back in 1961
When, like Icarus undaunted, he climbed to reach the Sun,
And he knew he might not make it, for it’s never hard to die:
But he lifted off the pad
And rode a fire in the sky!
Yet a higher goal was calling and we vowed to reach it soon
And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the Moon
And Apollo told the world we can do it if we try:
There was “One small step…”
And a fire in the sky!
(Bridge)
I dreamed last night
Of a little boy’s first space flight,
Burned into me,
Watching the black and white TV:
There was a fire in the sky!
I’ll remember ’til I die:
A fire in the sky–
A fire in the sky!
Then two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day
Came a shuttle named “Columbia”, to open up the way
And they said “She’s just a truck,” but she’s a truck that’s aimin’ high!
See her big jets burnin’,
See her fire in the sky!
Yet the gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made,
And with Challenger and seven, once again the price is paid
Though a nation watched her falling, yet a world could only cry,
As they passed from us to glory,
Riding fire in the sky!
Now the rest is up to us, and there’s a future to be won:
We must turn our faces outward, we will do what must be done:
For no cradle lasts forever; every bird must learn to fly:
And we’re goin’ to the stars–
See our fire in the sky!
(Reprise)
Yes, we’re goin’ to the stars–
See our fire in the sky!
I’ll remember ’til I die:
A fire in the sky–
A fire in the sky!
Others Standing By

Are we all alone, or are there others standing by.
Waiting to see what we will do, how hard we'll try?
It costs a lot to live, even more to fly.
Kindly send a prayer my way while I shoot up in the sky.
“Why would you go there?” they say.
“There's nothing up there anyway.
We could use the money here.
Don't you know that life's too dear?”
Dreamers never ask why.
Spend their money in the sky.
We'll send the best from Earth, to find out what it's worth.
We'll send the best from Earth, to find out what it's worth.
Late at night when I'm feeling blue,
I know the dream can't come true.
Everything's too far away —
Generations far, they say.
But like things that can't be done
Beyond the pull of our sun,
To some far star we'll steer,
Though it takes a thousand years.
And the sky's no limit anymore.
We've broken through heaven's door.
Don't you want to see where we could be?
Ain't it funny how people dream?
Make up worlds they've never seen,
Beings wonderful and rare
In this cosmos that we share.
Sometimes dreams come true.
Satellites beyond the blue,
Welcoming the human race
When we go and live in space.

Worlds grow old and suns grow cold
And death we never can doubt.
Time's cold wind, wailing down the past,
Reminds us that all flesh is grass
And history's lamps blow out.
But the Eagle has landed; tell your children when.
Time won't drive us down to dust again.
Cycles turn while the far stars burn,
And people and planets age.
Life's crown passes to younger lands,
Time brushes dust of hope from his hands
And turns another page.
But the Eagle has landed; tell your children when.
Time won't drive us down to dust again.
But we who feel the weight of the wheel
When winter falls over our world
Can hope for tomorrow and raise our eyes
To a silver moon in the opened skies
And a single flag unfurled.
But the Eagle has landed; tell your children when.
Time won't drive us down to dust again.
We know well what Life can tell:
If you would not perish, then grow.
And today our fragile flesh and steel
Have laid our hands on a vaster wheel
With all of the stars to know
That the Eagle has landed; tell your children when.
Time won't drive us down to dust again.
From all who tried out of history's tide,
Salute for the team that won.
And the old Earth smiles at her children's reach,
The wave that carried us up the beach
To reach for the shining sun.
For the Eagle has landed; tell your children when.
Time won't drive us down to dust again.
