A Long Long Time Ago
A long long time ago, actually it was much further back than that
No one really knows the date as it's become just a human stat
Somewhere out there, the universe was set alive
And it's taken millions of years to realise it's not our prize
It's so hard to get your head around, the events on that day
Where science as we know it, raised it's head to say
From the particle dust, as it swirls in past eons of time
Planets that we have come to know, or we'll discover as our space age climbs
They said we would never find water, on the Moon or the planet Mars
Deep inside our sleeping satellite, behind those lunar scars
Only a few years back, we impeded on it's crater scarred scape
And followed up with a probe, and the readings we can now relate
To leave our planet earth, rocket propulsion desires water
It's part of mans science mix, to the universe and her daughters
What we have discovered is not much, it could be enough for our very next step
If we actually agree to behave ourselves, the very next step is not so inept
A long long time ago, actually it was much further back than that
All that us humans dream, will become our histories stats
