(all) We in the 60's had the right stuff.
(all) To ride in a tin can was not bold enough.
(all) Ten years to the moon, we knew what we'd find;
(women) [... came in peace] for all mankind
(men) One small step for man...
(all) Soon we could leave our Earth behind.
(all) Our future's as bright as we make it.

(all) Now its the 90's - decade of fears,
(women) [We're] ruled by jerks who think 'long term' means four years.
(men)
(women) Fly me to the moon.
(men) We can't any more.
(women)
(men) It just costs too much, and we're _so_ poor.
(women) We can do it - been done before.
(men) That's already been done before.
(women) Our future's as bleak as they make it.
(men) Our future's as bleak as we make it.

(all) Let's build the future we had before,
(all) Our destiny's out there, we're ready to soar.
(women) Colonize the moon,
(men) then onward to Mars.
(women) Generation ships fly to near stars.
(men) Generation ships ...
(all) Untold planets wait to be ours,
(all) Our future's as bold as we make it.

(men) We in the 60's had the right stuff.
(women) Our destiny's out there, we're ready to soar.
(men) To ride in a tin can was not bold enough.
(women) Colonize L - 5, and the moon and Mars.
(men) Ten years to the moon, we knew what we'd find;
(women) Generation ships fly to new stars.
(men) One small step for man, and all mankind.
(women) Untold planets wait to be ours,
(men) Soon we can leave our Earth behind.
(all) The future is just what we make it.
