Space Odyssey Lyrics - The Notorious Byrd Brothers - The Byrds

In nineteen and ninety-six we ventured to the moon 

Onto the the Sea Of Crisis like children from the womb 

We journeyed cross the great wall plain beneath the mountain range 

and there we saw the pyramid, it looked so very strange 

This beacon had a field of force, that circled all around 

And not a man could get inside, no way could be found 

It was here for thousands of years before our life began 

Waiting very patiently for evolving man 

When the galaxy was young they looked upon the earth 

and saw that its position was promising for birth

They searched for life but finding none they left a beacon bright 

Its signal had not been disturbed in the eternal light 

How wise they were to choose this place, they knew when we arrived 

That our atomic energy, we'd harnessed and survived 

I look out on the milky way for people of the dawn 

I know that they will come some day but will our wait be long?
