LYRICS
(with some word changes to recording)
V 1.
In 1969
Every man, woman and child
Stood still
Face to the sky
We watched an earthly son
Put our first steps
On the moon
At that fleeting point in time
We all belonged to one tribe
Inspired by what human minds
Combined can do
Yet we're just one form of life
Blessed to share the same light
Of the sun
At the earth rise
Only the size of the thumb
Of that man
Looking back
To his home
All alone
From the moon
CHORUS:
What’s the next giant leap for humankind?
What kind of footprint do we leave behind?
Will the next giant leap, be the best giant leap
For all earthkind?
V. 2
Now 50 years have gone
And the stakes are higher than the moon
We race now with time
To heed the earth's distress
We need to curb excess
Or be consumed
By her rising angry tide
But when we reach for the moon
It shows what we can all do
With our minds, when we decide
To find a way through
Cos it’s just not rocket science
To understand our reliance
On the sun
Earth, sea and skies
It’s our moment in time
All for one
We’ve already begun
CHORUS
From one small step by a child
To one bigger step
For our world to re-wild
The path will be steep
To the next giant leap
For all earth kind
Take the next giant leap for earth kind
With one giant beat
Of our hearts and our minds
Make the next giant leap
The best giant leap
For all earth kind
ANTHEM PLAY OUT
The next giant leap for earth
Next giant leap for earth
Next giant leap for earth kind
Next giant leap for earth
(for all earthkind)
Next giant leap for earth
(for all earthkind)
Next giant leap for earth kind
Next giant leap for earth
(for all earthkind)
Next giant leap for earth
(for all earthkind)
Children should sleep with peace of mind
v.3
In 2069
What will history's line
Have to say
About what you did today?
