Lyrics

I was born in 57
And somewhere in the heavens
A Sputnik started beeping night and day
A shiny little ball
That could never ever fall
Passing slowly by the window where I lay
I went out there on the launch pads
Up there with the Sputnik
Stayed up all night when a man walked on the moon
I was born in the trip
Of the rockets very trail
And I saw that brighter future coming soon
When the winners of the human race
Floated weightless up in space
Above the poor and the heavy and the doomed
Just one small step for man
One giant leap from Vietnam
Walking with the men up on the moon
Yeah I was up there on the launch pads
Up there with the Sputnik
Stayed up all night when the men walked on the moon
I was born in the trip
That rockets find a trail
Cause I saw that brighter future coming soon
