It's fifty years since Sputnik, when the Russians shocked the world |
| [00:13.94] |
With an orb and two antennae Earth would never be the same |
| [00:19.14] |
Fueling our worst fears that we'd be vulnerable and weak |
| [00:23.19] |
If we did not respond in kind, we'd lose the game |
| [00:28.18] |
So we got our act together, and Explorer One went flying |
| [00:32.97] |
But not before the Russians sent a dog up into space |
| [00:37.78] |
If I said I knew why they thought dogs should fly, I would be lying |
| [00:42.48] |
They were caught up in some kind of human race |
| [00:47.47] |
A race to the furthest star |
| [00:52.08] |
A race to the galaxies above |
| [00:56.88] |
If a little bit of fear can go so far |
| [01:01.85] |
Imagine what a world could do with love |
| [01:06.02] |
...... |
| [01:14.00] |
Gagarin took a spin around the globe in 61 and |
| [01:18.60] |
He was followed ten months later by an astronaut named Glenn |
| [01:23.41] |
Alexei took a spacewalk, Captain Kirk, he took our TV |
| [01:27.72] |
And I've never been the same since then |
| [01:32.99] |
A race to the furthest star |
| [01:38.03] |
A race to the galaxies above |
| [01:42.79] |
If a little bit of dreaming goes so far |
| [01:48.09] |
Imagine what a world could do with love |
| [01:51.66] |
...... |
| [01:59.71] |
Imagine human footprints on a distant lunar plane |
| [02:04.51] |
Imagine floating science labs where gravity is gone |
| [02:09.74] |
Imagine the potential that our species could contain |
| [02:14.23] |
If we were drawn to love again |
| [02:19.37] |
I heard a scientist declare the world as we know it |
| [02:23.77] |
Is destined to be swallowed up in some gigantic hole |
| [02:28.66] |
And nothing that you do on earth will outlast or survive this |
| [02:33.06] |
Is there any point in trying to take control? |
| [02:37.99] |
Just another baby boomer, writing poems |
| [02:42.91] |
Putting flowers into rifles, hugging trees and singing songs |
| [02:47.71] |
And the questions in the air aren't rocket science |
| [02:52.42] |
What's the point and where on Earth do we belong? |
| [02:57.59] |
In our race to the furthest star |
| [03:02.45] |
A race to the galaxies above |
| [03:07.10] |
If a little bit of vision goes so so far |
| [03:12.60] |
Imagine what a world could do with love |
