Neil Armstrong - indelible in our history books,
Aided by the crew of Apollo 11 in 1969.
The first man ever to walk on the moon.
Astonishing human adventures he did define.

In saying, ‘That's one small step for man,
One giant leap for mankind.’
Let’s just imagine his thoughts.
They must have been unconfined.

The time was right for you to make a mark.
Live TV cameras broadcast every moment.
The human race on the edge of its seat.
You're part of our collective psyche - a shared component.

Thank you, Neil, for expanding our horizons,
For showing how we can be outward facing.
It will take a long time for us to step further,
But you got us on track to the dream we are chasing.
