Spoken: Of all sad words from tongue or pen The saddest are these: "It might have been." It was 1969 when man first touched lunar ground The cheering of a nation carried hope within its sound Then the day the president had dared another race "We can and shall be first," he said, "to live and work in space." And I think, Where would we be if we hadn't gone this way? How would we be living on that other sunny day? Would we have the things that we have now, have we won or have we lost? Or would we have been here anyway, would we want to pay the cost? In 1972 the shuttle lifted from the pad By 1976 an L-5 colony we had '78 we headed out, returning to the moon Establishing a lunar base and expanding through the gloom And I think, Where would we be if we hadn't gone this way? How would we be living on that other sunny day? Would we have the things that we have now, have we won or have we lost? Or would we have been here anyway, would we want to pay the cost? So I look back and wonder as the Earth goes sliding by As I watch the pale sun rising in the airless lunar sky If Orwell could have seen then what I'm seeing every day He never would have guessed that '84 would end that way And I think, Where would we be if we hadn't gone this way? How would we be living on that other sunny day? Would we have the things that we have now, have we won or have we lost? Or would we have been here anyway, would we want to pay the cost? Yes, I think, Where would we be if we hadn't gone this way? And how would we be living on that other sunny day? Would we have the things that we have now, have we won or have we lost? Or would we have been here anyway, would we want to pay the cost?
