Lyrics

Intro: Choir:
Ahs …

Verse1: Male Lead:
Do you believe in rocket ships and things that fly above?
Celestial bodies, asteroids, and planets making love?
What do you say my friends?
What do you say my friends?

Verse2: Male Lead:
Shall we travel in a silver ship that takes us to the stars?
Shall we travel at the speed of light ‘till the universe is ours?
What do you say my friends?
What do you say my friends?
Tell me!

Bridge1: Choir:
Ahs …

Chorus1: Male Lead:
Oh! I am of the universe and I do understand.
The world is young, the world is old –
And I am just a man.
Yes I am of the universe the planets’ I command.
Yes I am of the universe and you must understand –
Am I just a man?

Verse3: Male Lead:
You must believe that Challenger is under my control.
You must believe that leaving here is deep within my soul.
What do you say my friends?
What do you say my friends?

Verse4: Male Lead:
Terra Firma is my home, I cannot leave you here.
We’ll board that silver rocket ship – we’ll find another sphere.
What do you say my friends?
What do you say my friends?
Tell me!

Bridge2: Choir:
Ahs …

Chorus2: Male Lead:
Oh! I am of the universe and I do understand.
The world is young, the world is old –
And I am just a man.
Yes I am of the universe the planets’ I command.
Yes I am of the universe and you must understand –
Am I just a man?

Verse5: Male Lead:
The moon is just a stepping stone to the rest of outer space.
We’ll climb the heavens star by star we’ll find another space.
Our time’s at hand - prepare the craft - we can no longer wait.
All system’s go – let’s lock the door – it’s time to seal our fate.
Come my friends! – Come my friends! …
Choir: YES!

Chorus3: Choir:
We are of the universe and we do understand.
The world is young the world is old –
It’s time to make a stand.
We are of the universe and we do understand.
The world is young the world is old –
It’s time to make a stand.
Male Lead: Am I just a man …
