paroles de chanson We Choose to Go to the Moon - Christopher Tin

We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
And do the other things
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
Because that goal will serve to organize and measure
The best of our energies and skills

We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to thе moon in this decade
Becausе that challenge is one that we are willing to accept
One we are unwilling to postpone
And one which we intend to win

We set sail (We set sail) on this new sea
Because there is new knowledge to be gained
And new rights to be won
And they must be won and used for the progress of all people
For space science, like nuclear science and technology
Has no conscience of its own
Whether it will become a force for good or ill
Depends on man

Whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace
Or a new terrifying theater of war
A theater of war

For the eyes of the world now look into space
The moon and the planets beyond
With hopes for knowledge and peace
For the eyes of the world now look into space
The moon and the planets beyond

We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons
But with instruments of knowledge

We have vowed that we shall not
See it governed by a hostile flag
But with a banner of freedom and peace

There is no strife, no prejudice
No conflict in outer space

Its conquest deserves the very best of all mankind

We choose to go to the moon (But why, some say, the moon?)
We choose to go to the moon (Why choose this as our goal?)
We choose to go to the moon (Why, 35 years ago)
We choose to go to the moon (Fly the Atlantic?)

And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain?
Why?

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory
Who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked
Why did he want to climb it

Because it's there
Because it's there

Space is there (Well, space is there)
And we're going to climb it
Space is there (and we're going to climb it, {?} are there)
Space is there (and new hopes for knowledge)
And peace are there

We choose to go to the moon (And, there, {?} we set sail)
We choose to go to the moon (We ask what blessing)
We choose to go to the moon (on the most hazardous and) dangerous and

Greatest adventure, the
Greatest adventure, the
Greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked

We choose the moon
We choose the stars
We choose the stars
We choose to
Go!

We choose to go!
We choose to go!
We choose to

Go!
