St. Elmo’s Fire – We’re Goin’ Back

St. Elmo’s Fire – We’re Goin’ Back Lyrics

Artist: St. Elmo’s Fire
Song: We’re Goin’ Back

It was late in Sixty-nine
When we landed that first time
Man, I still remember how it felt to see it
And it wasn’t that long then

We were on the moon again
And you could feel yourself beginning to believe it
Then once more and then again
We pushed out the reach of man

Each time up, another set of hero’s footprints
But those short trips were all we made
Somehow our dream it got waylaid
And not a person live or dead has been up there since

And what was so hard-won has been abandoned
Our journey to the stars got off the track
But we’ll return someday to claim
What we once won as our domain

We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re going back!
One small step was all we took
Just enough to have a look
A beginning, just a glimmer of man’s powers

But our first step on that road
Has been our last and it has showed
That we are governed by the weak-kneed and the cowards
Nothing much up there they say

Don’t know how we’ll make it pay
We could use that dough to help us stay elected
But as billions waste away
We all come nearer to the day

When there won’t be enough resources to correct it
We must get us off this fragile little planet
Before we blow ourselves to hell and back
We’re gonna make it plain

We’ll no more play this waiting game
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re going back!
Well, we’re still not out in space
And the whole damn human race

Sits and twaddles with our eggs all in one basket
We’ve already bought the tools
How long will we stay earthbound fools?
That is the question, and I think its time we ask it

Yes, we still haven’t lost that sense of wonder
This won’t become a human cul-de-sac
We will see that nothing bars
Our rightful place among the stars

We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re going back!
For this adventure never will be finished
We’ll make up for the spine the others lack
Take it money, lives or pain

What we once lost we will regain!
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re going back!
We’re goin’ back, I swear to God we’re going back!
