One Giant Leap

One Giant Leap

Moon glitters silver in clear midnight sky
as Apollo stands on Earth with open eye
lured by pure light of her charming smile
to build a rocket ship with wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Apollo slides in capsule on rocket head
with Mars and Vulcan strapped in seats
to grasp steering scepter of Mercury tight
as they soar in heaven on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Rocket roars leaping away from Earth
shuddering as it streaks across blue sky
and pierces bubble of our spirit atmosphere
to glide in vast vacuum on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Apollo guides rocket of sleek silver tube
surfing over waves of shimmering light
angel sperm flying from womb of Earth
toward Egg of Space on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Apollo flies toward silver Moon from Earth
and circles gray sphere of broken rocks
then descends toward mountain of dust
silver angel floating slow on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Apollo lands on broad meadow of craters
then climbs down ladder from pagoda module
and walks tall on dry Mountain of Artemis
who appears dancing wild on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Earth gleams blue and green in midnight sky
as Apollo stands on Moon with open eye
lured by pure light of her charming smile
to fly away home safe on wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Millions of people back on our green Earth
watch Apollo on flickering television screens
dance with Artemis Goddess of Moonlight
who welcomes mortal man with wings of flame.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.

Apollo plays harp by sea of shining light
as Moon Nymphs in long fluttering robes
dance circles around our golden sun god
who left behind boot prints on dusty Moon.
Apollo sings my one small step for man
is one giant leap for mankind among stars.
