like a shot in the dark miss the mark

i blame you for the moonlit sky,
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight.
blame you for the moonlit nights,
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite...

did we fly to the moon too soon?
did we squander the chance?
in the rush of the race,
the reason we chase is lost in romance...
and still we try
to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure..!

I blame you for the moonlit sky,
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight.
blame you for the moonlit nights,
when i wonder whyare the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite...

have we lost what it takes to advance?
have we peaked too soon?
if the world is so green
then why does it scream under a blue moon?
we wonder why,
if the earth's sacrificed
for the price of it's greatest treasure..!

i blame you for the moonlit sky,
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight.
blame you for the moonlit nights,
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite...

and when we shoot for stars,
what a giant step!
have we got what it takes
to carry the weight of this concept?
or pass it by? like a shot in the dark
miss the mark with a sense of adventure..!

i blame you for the moonlit sky,
and the dream that died
with the eagles' flight.
blame you for the moonlit nights,
when i wonder why
are the seas still dry?
don't blame this sleeping satellite...
