Black boy in Chicago Playing in the street Not enough to wear Not near enough to eat But don't you know he saw it On a July afternoon He saw a man named Armstrong Walk upon the moon
Young girl in Calcutta Barely eight years old The flies that swarm the market place Will see she don't get old But don't you know she heard it On that July afternoon She heard a man named Armstrong Had walked upon the moon She heard a man named Armstrong Had walked upon the moon
The rivers are getting' dirty The wind is getting bad War and hate is killing off The only earth we have But the world all stopped to watch it On that July afternoon To watch a man named Armstrong Walk upon the moon To watch a man named Armstrong Walk upon the moon
Oh I wonder if a long time ago Somewhere in the universe They watched a man named Adam Walk upon the earth
