lyrics

For All Mankind
By Nigel Collyer © Nigel Collyer 2017

The bells are gonna ring
And the Media's gonna talk
About the boys of Beijing
Who've done a space walk
New explorers are in space
And there will be more
Cos we aint got no room
On planet on Earth no more.

America gave us the Moon
For all mankind
Are we going to turn it into
A lunar coalmine
Let the dream stay in our hearts
Leave the treasures in their place
Just make a brand new start
Don't begin another race.

O' Sea Of Serenity
Your dry and dusty coast
Will humans arrive here
And banish the lunar ghost
The non-believers will see
A new Moon through different eyes
But let us hope that it will be
More than a PR exercise.

An orbital floating home
Just not good enough for me
But do we really want to go
Fast food shopping in Tranquility
A wanton disregard
For our satellite's fate
Open your eyes and see the truth
Before it's all too late
Before it's all too late
Before it's all too late.
