Sputnik 57

Lyrics

I was born in 57 And somewhere in the heavens A Sputnik started beeping night and day A shiny little ball That could never ever fall Passing slowly by the window where I lay I went out there on the launch pads Up there with the Sputnik Stayed up all night when a man walked on the moon I was born in the trip Of the rockets very trail And I saw that brighter future coming soon When the winners of the human race Floated weightless up in space Above the poor and the heavy and the doomed Just one small step for man One giant leap from Vietnam Walking with the men up on the moon Yeah I was up there on the launch pads Up there with the Sputnik Stayed up all night when the men walked on the moon I was born in the trip That rockets find a trail Cause I saw that brighter future coming soon
