SKU: A0.510170

Composed by Glyn Lehmann (music), Phil Cummings (lyrics). Pop,R & B. Octavo. 14 pages. Glyn Lehmann #3542455. Published by Glyn Lehmann (A0.510170).

The second song from the SPACE RACE song cycle, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, July 1969. Other songs are: Gagarin (Beyond Blue Sky), The Children of the World (July 1969) and Apollo 11 (Homecoming).

This song highlights the goal set by President Kennedy in 1962 to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. It emphasises the 'can do' attitude of those who worked long and hard to make it happen. Having been beaten by Russia to be the first to launch a human into space, the race was on to get to the moon!

The uplifting, positive vibe is influenced by pop groups from the 1960s such as The Byrds and The 5th Dimension. More information at https://glynlehmann.com/Space-Race

Space Race (To Every Question)
Words by Phil Cummings, music by Glyn Lehmann

To every question there is an answer
No question is ever too hard
To every problem we find solutions
This is who we are
This is who we are
This is who we are

Spoken:
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. (from President John F Kennedy's 1962 speech at Rice University.)

In 62 Kennedy knew
Space was the final frontier
His voice echoed around the world
For everyone to hear

Man set out to take the moon
And jump up to the stars
To build the rockets, make the craft
Nowhere was too far

Chasing dreams, imagining worlds
Far beyond our own
To discover planets, other worlds
New hope, new peace, new home

New inventions, new discoveries
Astronauts at risk
Great minds working long and hard
A challenge they couldn’t resist
 
They took their marks
Ready to race
They set their goals
No time to waste
They gazed out to stars, to space
To the moon …at the end of the race
