Julia Ecklar - Everyman lyrics

!I've never left this Earth; I've never seen the stars; I've never had the chance to journey to the Moon or Mars; My name will never be recalled in books of history But by God, I know that those who did could not have without me! For… CHORUS: … I'm the man who took up tools, and laid out the designs Of starships: I'm the one who built their sleek and burnished lines I'm Every Man who ever fashioned cold refined steel Into the dreams of spaceflight: I'm the one who made them real I'll never know the thrilling pain of blasting into space; I'll never know what mysteries lie in some unearthly place; I'll never see new stars be born, or watch the old ones die; I'll never hear a child from an alien planet cry But… CHORUS I wonder what it feels like to dance without the ties Of gravity upon me, though I'll never get to try But I have satisfaction knowing that I had a role In giving those who could a chance to reach that final goal For… CHORUS I'm the one who made them real
