Gathered have they here the breed of explorers To revive an ancient dream Conquering of space the final frontier Caught up in the cold race to lead Towering the great servant of Apollo Waiting for the flight to the moon Astronauts and crew are feeling the tension Knowing that they're launching soon Staff to clear the compound Time to start the countdown Mission control they announce Saturn V is ready for launch Proudly watching is the German conceiver Creator and destroyer in one Sparks are flying to ignite the fire Ground shakes it has begun Brightly shines the soaring inferno Thundering through the atmosphere The rocket is going through its stages Astronauts in stage of fear 3000 tons in flight Pray for Godspeed on our side Sky is turning black as night Saturn V the moon is in sight
