Sure As the Earth Rises
Lyrics by Ted Horrell

I wasn’t born yet when it happened
Somehow it still touched me deep
As a kid I saw those pictures
And thought about them in my sleep

Was it cold? Was it lonely?
How would those men even know?
Why did they think they could get there?
Why’d they think they could come home?

As sure as the earth rises on the surface of the moon
As sure as they once stood there we’d return
And I hoped it’d be soon

Years went by and I got older
Those dreams seemed so long ago
Some people talk about why we did it
Some people don’t really seem to know

But as sure as the earth rises on the surface of the moon
As sure as they once stood there we’ll return
I still hope it’s soon

Will we ever go beyond there
Will we feel the need to try?
Are we where we thought we’d be now
When human eyes first saw that sight
Looking at our glowing planet
Floating in the sky at night
Are we where we thought we’d be now
When human eyes first saw that sight

As sure as the earth rises on the surface of the moon
As sure as they once stood there we’ll return
What will it mean when we do
