The first step on Mars,
An astronaut goes far,
He samples the soil,
He can feel his blood boil,
The Red Planet,
A new world to explore,
The Red Planet,
Plenty in store,
An astronaut is superhuman,
He has abilities none other possess,
In outer space, to aliens he has access,
He can go where no other has gone,
He can face a new dawn,
He can learn things that scientists want to know,
An astronaut has a big distance to go,
He is the epitome of a superhero,
An astronaut, an American hero.
