Almost Four Decades

(CHORUS) I blame you for the moonlit sky

and the dream that die 

with the eagle's flight 

I blame you for the moonlit nights

when I wonder why

are the seas still dry?

Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon?

Did we squander the chance?

In the rush of the race the reason we chase is lost in romance

and still we try

to justify the waste

for a taste of mans greatest adventure.

(CHORUS)

Have we lost what it takes to advance?

Have we peaked too soon?

If the world is so green then why does it scream under a blue moon?

We wonder why

if the earth's sacrificed

for the price of its greatest treasure

(CHORUS)

And when we shoot for the stars

what a giant step

have we got what it takes

to carry the weight of this concept?

Or pass it by

like a shot in the dark

miss the mark with a sense of adventure?

(CHORUS)
