Black boy in Chicago
Playin' in the street
Not enough to wear

Not near enough to eat
But don't you know he saw it
On a July afternoon

Saw a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon


Young girl in Calcutta
Barely eight years old
Flys 'round the market place

See she don't get old
don't you know she heard it
On a July afternoon

Heard a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon
Heard a man named Armstrong

Walk upon the moon

[Instrumental]


Rivers gettin' dirty
Wind is gettin' bad

War and hate is killin' us
The only earth we had
But the world all stopped to watch

On a July afternoon
Watched a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon

Watched a man named Armstrong
Walk upon the moon


And I wonder if a long time ago
Somewhere in the universe
They watched a man named Adam

Walk upon the earth
Ooh-ooh-ooh...
