"The New Frontier" lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come
On the new frontier of space
We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered
For the greatest exploration that the world has ever known
We will have literally have reached the stars before midnight tonight
For the eyes of the world now look into space
And we set sail on this new ocean
To the moon and to the planets beyond
But why the moon?
Why choose this as our goal?
Why climb the highest mountain?
Because there is new knowledge to be gained
And it is one of the great adventures of all time
Because that challenge we're willing to accept
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
Some would have us stay where we are
To rest, to wait
But man in his quest for knowledge
Was not built by those who waited and rested
We set sail on this spacecraft of freedom
And we have vowed
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon
