October 4th in 1957
A satellite would spark Apollo 11
Sputnik, the pride of the USSR
As two hostile nations reached for the stars
Although the Cold War was no world war
In the end it reached much further
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
They faced the haze of Sputnik's trace
As they chased to erase the disgrace
In the days of the Space Race
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
They gazed all amazed at the new ways
That would set the pace for
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race
Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race
Space Race
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race
One month later followed the dog Laika
The U.S.S.R. made one step further
And in 61 they sent the first man
Into space - Yuri Gagarin
Into space - Yuri Gagarin
Although the Cold War was no world war
In the end it reached much further
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
They faced the haze of Sputnik's trace
As they chased to erase the disgrace
In the days of the Space Race
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race

They gazed all amazed at the new ways
That would set the pace for
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race

The U.S. took the Sputnik shock
As a wake up call
And Kennedy said "After all
We will soon
Be on the moon"
With Apollo 11 in 69
One giant leap was made for mankind
Aldrin and Armstrong decided back then
The race was one small step for a man
With one small step for a man
Although the Cold War was no world war
In the end it reached much further
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
They faced the haze of Sputnik's trace
As they chased to erase the disgrace
In the days of the Space Race
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race
Space Race
They gazed all amazed at the new ways
That would set the pace for
A new phase
In the days of the Space Race

Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race
A new phase in the days of the Space Race
In the days of the Space Race
In 75 the race saw a truce
And they travelled together in Apollo-Soyuz
They travelled together in Apollo-Soyuz
