There's a metal flag beside me - Someone planted long ago

Bridge
I see all of Southeast Asia - I can see El Salvador
I hear the cries of children - And the other songs of war
It's like a mighty melody - That rings down from the sky
Standing here upon the moon, I watch it all roll by - All roll by - -
All roll by - - All roll by - - -
Verse 3
Standing on the moon - I see a shadow on the sun
Standing on the moon - The stars go fading one by one
I hear a cry of victory - Another of defeat

A scrap of age-old lullaby - Down some forgotten street

Just looking up at heaven - At this crescent in the sky
In the sky
Outro
Standing on the moon - With nothing left to do
A lovely view of heaven - But I'd rather be with you
