Alan Bean

Ever felt like giving up?
I've felt like giving up.
But not since 1969.

I found a greater truth,
At a godly altitude,
Won't waste another day of my life.

As we tumbled down to earth,
We felt the capsule turn,
We saw the blue skies burn.

As we splashed down in the sea,
You were praying on your knees,
It bought a change in me.

Everyone will forget soon,
The fourth man on the moon,
But I've got it in my mind.

I'd like to paint your eyes,
But I've got to paint the sky.
Going to be a painter all my life.
As we tumbled down to earth,
We felt the capsule turn,
We saw the blue skies burn.

As we splashed down in the sea,
You were praying on your knees,
It bought a change in me.

And what you didn't see,
I'll let you see through me.
I'm going to paint the moon for you.

Ever felt like giving up?
'We've felt like giving up'
Ever felt like giving up?
'All the time.'
