Message of the Eagle

G | C |
I remember the time | back in the sixties |
D | G | |
When | we reached out for the | stars |
G | C |
The challenges we met to | reach our objective |
D | G | |
Uni | ted this nation of | ours |
C | G |
Glued to our TVs at the | end of that decade, |
D | G | |
We | watched as the Eagle touched | down |
C | G | |
And | our hopes and our dreams were | ever invested |
D | G | |
In | Apollo and the achievements now | gone. |

What was the message | of the Eagle |
D | G |
What does it tell us | today? |
C | G |
We had ventured to | another world |
D | G |
Forgotten are the advances we | made |
Where are the dreams that moved a whole nation
On the eve of two thousand years?
The spark of adventure is fading away
And apathy looms that is clear.
Now is the time to rekindle that spirit
And reach for the heavens again.
One step for mankind should always remind us
We can achieve what is properly planned. {c: cho.}
Now a watered down version of a once grand plan
Has been set before us to taste
The vision we had once is lost in the shuffle
Earthbound projects have taken its place.
And the spirit we had that lifted this nation
With pride is all but gone.
And if we continue the path we now follow
Forever we'll be Terra bound. {c: cho.}
We have to continue exploring the cosmos
For vastness of space is the prize
In our quest for the stars let's always remember
The heroes who gave us their lives
For the sacrifice of few have given so many
The chance of a future so bright
Let's not forsake what they have given
And continue the flight into the night. {c: final cho.}
final cho.
What was the message of the Eagle
What does it tell us today?
We had ventured to another world
Forgotten are the advances made
What was the message of the Eagle,
What does it tell us today?
What was the message of the Eagle
It's time we bring it back to stay.
