The Space Ship One Trilogy #2:
This took less than a day to write. Based on the first privately financed spaceflight. Permission to use the tune for Nuts from the Hazel Tree graciously granted by Catherine Faber

lyrics

When I was young I used to watch a black-and -white TV,
And dream about the future and of mankind's destiny.
The stories that I read foretold,
Of a future brave and bold
Time to watch that dream unfold,
---Spaceflight in Mojave


-Hopes enflame, space to tame,
-Man embraces distant places
-Dreams reclaim, thunder and flame,
---Spaceflight in Mojave


In California desert, where the hawks and eagles fly,
Lies a spaceport, newly made, a gateway to the sky.
A place where dreams are taking flight,
Soaring unto far-flung heights,
Where the stars are shinning bright.
---Spaceflight in Mojave

Chorus-

On June the 21st we watched Mike Melville win the race.
And slip the surly bonds of Earth, to rocket into space.
Scrabbling for the first foothold
Of spaceborn hopes and dreams untold
History's page is written Bold.
---Spaceflight in Mojave

Chorus-

The longest journey starts with but a single step though small,
As tiny acorns will beget the oaks that grow so tall,
Sow the seeds of dreams lifelong
Following the siren song,
To the stars where we belong,
---Spaceflight in Mojave

Chorus-

Final Chorus:
-To aspire, ever higher,
-Man embraces distant places,
-Dreams inspire, thunder and fire
---Spaceflight in Mojave
