'Moon Steps' explores the evolving journeys made by humans, culminating in steps on the Moon.
Moon Steps - Vocal
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
From the face of the Earth, from land and sea
New voyages of discovery
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
From wheels and wings to rocket roar
New worlds to reach, yes, let’s explore!
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
With space-suits on, in astro-gear
We travel through Earth’s atmosphere
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Go onwards, upwards, seek and find -
A giant leap for human kind
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
So step by step by step we climb
Reach up, up, up, through space and time
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps
Moon steps, moon steps…
Moon Steps
'Moon Steps' places lunar exploration within the wider context of humanity’s different voyages of discovery, tracing how transport by wheels and wings eventually led to rocket-science, so that we could travel through Earth’s atmosphere to eventually make the ‘giant leap’ in 1969 when human beings first walked on the moon. Our ‘moon steps’ since then have led us to seek and find more new worlds through space and time, onwards and upwards…
