MAN IN THE MOON
(Jerry Spurlock)

I was reading today we've discovered a way
To escape from the earth. it's the birth of an eon.
We can fly to the stars, make the far planet ours.
Then I thought of the man in the moon.

Oh, we've taken our sweat and we've taken our brains.
We have grabbed all we have of our worldly possessions.
We have taken the best and we've used all the rest,
But you can't take the man from the moon.

CHORUS: You can rob him. You can blind him. You can knock him down.
You can chain him away where the shadows are looming.
You can beat him. You can bind him. You can tie him to the ground,
But you can't take the man from the moon.

Now there's some that go hungry and some die in wars,
And the reasons they give are completely confusing,
But we take in our stride, though we feel terrified,
And we think of the man in the moon.

Now its said when you're dead, that life comes to a head,
And there's nothing beyond but the dust all upon us
And the astronauts say that if judged by the day,
There was never a man in the moon.

Chorus.

So we take what we hear with a kernel of fear.
It is generally agreed there is little solution.
No need to despair. There's a light shining there,
'Cause you can't take the man from the moon.

Chorus.


Perhaps some one can tell me who wrote it.
