Black boy in Chicago,playin' in the street
not enough to wear,not near enough to eat
but dont you know he saw it,on a JUly afternoon
Saw a man named Armstrong walk upon the moon
He saw a man named Armstrong walk upon the moon.

Young girl in Calcutta,barely eight years old
flies that swarm the marketplace will see SHE don't grow old
but don't you know she heard it on a July afternoon
She heard a man named Armstrong walked upon the moon
She heard a man named Armstrong walked upon the moon

River's gettin' dirty,wind is smellin' bad
wars and hate are killin' off the only earth we have
but the world all stopped to watch it on that July afternoon
Watched a man named Armstrong walk upon the moon.

And I wonder if,a long time ago,somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named Adam walk upon the earth
