Fire in The Sky 

 Surprise

If we had no Moon

Now's the time to touch a star

Hope Eyrie

מילים של שני השירים הראשונים:

Jordin's Kare song "Fire in the Sky" performed by Kristopher Klover:

Prometheus they say brought God's fire down to man
and we caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began
Now we're going back to heaven just to look him him in the eye
and there's a thunder 'cross the land and a fire in the sky

 

Gagarin was the first back in Nineteen Sixty-One
when like Icarus unbounded he climbed to reach the Sun
And he knew he might not make it for it's never hard to die
but he lifted off the pad and rode fire in the sky

 

But a higher goal was calling and we vowed we make it soon
and we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the Moon
Apollo showed the world we can do it if we try
and there was one small step and fire in the sky

 

But two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day
came a shuttle named Columbia to open up the way
they says she's just a truck but she's a truck that's aiming high
see her big jets burning, see her fire in the sky

 

Yet the Gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made
and with Challenger and Seven the price was once again paid
though a nation watched her falling yet a world could only cry
as they passed from us to glory riding fire in the sky

 

Now the rest is up to us there's a future to be won
we must turn our faces outward, we must do what must be done
no cradle lasts forever, every bird must learn to fly
and we're going to the stars! See our Fire In The Sky!

 --------------------------------------------------

Surprise!

Remember the fifties, those fat complacent days
When the future seemed a century away?
Then up went Sputnik, gave the world a butt-kick,
And made it clear tomorrow starts today.

 

Beep beep beep beep...Hello there!
Sputnik sails giggling through the skies.
Red flags, red faces, jump into the race
As the space age begins with a surprise. (well duh!)

 

You generals once thought Von Braun a waste of cash,
And Goddard needed treatment really bad.
Then that global shot put gave you the hotfoot
And -- beep beep -- you're blasted off the pad.

 

Done for a threat, propaganda or prestige --
The point is, the thing was in the sky.
It made the generals frown and put their money down,
And meet that bet or know the reason why.

 

That's how it started, all those years ago,
The push that got us climbing into space.
Cynic beginnings, greed for big winnings.
But look at all we've gotten from that race!

 

Sputnik wore out, and spiraled back to Earth;
On re-entry it burned up very soon.
Hail and goodbye to that goose in the sky --
And in twelve more years a man walked on the Moon!
