Mars is the next logical step
In our space program
It's the challenge that's been staring us in the face
For the past 30 years
It has water, it has carbon,
It has a 24 hour day
It has geothermal energy
Mars is a place we can settle
There is a giant rift in its surface
5,000 kilometers long
There is a volcano as wide as Arizona
So there's the choice in life
One either grows or one decays
Grow or die
I think we should grow
Mars is a world of wonders
It has canyons, river valleys,
and giant ice sheets
Mars is a world of wonders
It shouldn't be humans to Mars in 50 years
It should be humans to Mars in 10
We either muster the courage to go
Or we risk the possibility of stagnation and decay
We've got cosmic radiation
Zero gravity
Martian dust storms
Back contamination
But these are dragons that we can take on
In our time we have sifted
The sands of Mars
Established a presence there
And fulfilled a century of dreams
The Mars rovers have really
Captured our imaginations
They genuinely are explorers
In the old-fashioned sense
If you put out a call
For volunteers for the first crew to Mars
They'd be lined up coast to coast
(refrain)
Mars is a dry frozen version of our home
Covered in red dust and sand
At one time
In the ancient past
Mars was very similar
To the conditions of early earth
There will always be people with new ideas
On how humans should live together
We now have "eyes" and "ears" on the surface
What's left after you go is
The good you've left behind
You have to believe in hope
You have to believe in the future
There are more and more people coming around to the point of view that
A positive future for humanity requires human expansion to space
(refrain)
We're at a crossroads today
We either muster the courage to go
Or we risk the possibility of stagnation and decay
