Black boy in Chicago, playing in the street   Not near enough to wear, not near enough to eat   Don't you know he saw it on a July afternoon?   He saw a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon      Young girl in Calcutta, barely eight years old   The flies that swarm the market place will see she don't get old   Don't you know she heard it yeah on that July afternoon?   She heard a man named 'Armstrong' he walked upon the moon   She heard a man named 'Armstrong' he walked upon the moon      The rivers are getting dirty and the wind is getting bad   War and hate are killing off the only earth we have   But the world all stopped to watch it, yeah, on that July afternoon   To watch a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon      To watch a man named 'Armstrong' walk upon the moon   To watch 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
