Flights of Project Mercury

Mal wieder was altes.


The yearning of men
Is to conquer the air
To travel the heavens
It’s secret to bare

Above the atmosphere
Manned space exploration
Far away from earth
Create a space station

Flights of project Mercury
A man sent to outer space
Flights of project Mercury
Look in the future’s face

A Mercury astronaut
Soon off the ground
Soaring the universe
No longer earthbound

Tons of spacecraft
Far away from earth
Project Mercury spawned
The knowledge’s birth

Flights of project Mercury
Mankind leaves the earth
Flights of project Mercury
Explore the universe

Flying around Mercury
He took a look at Mars
Learned and understood
As he watched the stars

Mercury’s astronaut
Never returned to Earth
With his enlighted mind
He flew into the universe

Flights of project Mercury
Found universe’s mystery
Flights of project Mercury
Quickly became history
