1977
It was 1977 two birds were parked outside
The nasa gang was waiting for the countdown to arrive
Ed stone was such a young buck full of wonder and desire
It was 1977 how far how high

So the crew from palo alto  with the latest design
Sent the analog bueaties into the mystery sky
And the home team was grinning coming round the mountain just fine
1977 how far how high

Gone gone mercury and appollo
Gone gone faint voices down the hallow
Gone gone like the static on an  am radio
Farewell to the atlas and the saturn five
Farewell to the giants that ruled the sky
Farewell to the boys of mission control

It was 1977-the year that elvis presley died
New york fell into darkness-space shuttle beginning to fly
It was rocky and star wars-steve jobs rising from behind
1977 how far how high

Now the voyagers are far into space-looks like a home run
And we are the digital race-but remember
That the voyagers are far into space –and such a wonder
And we are the digital race remember

It is good to remember-the world is moving so fast
1977 who’d a thought that they would last
So stay tuned for the next show-it’s a dandy don’t deny
1977-how far how high-1977-how far how high

It is good to remember  the world is moving so fast
1977 who’d a thought that they would last
Stay tuned for the next show it.s a dandy don’t deny
1977 how far how high
1977 how far how high
