Alan Bean

Ever felt like giving up?
I've felt like giving up
But not since 1969

I found a greater truth
At a godly altitude
Won't waste another day of my life

As we tumbled down to earth
We felt the capsule turn
We saw the blue skies burn

As we splashed down in the sea
You were praying on your knees
It bought a change in me

Everyone will forget soon
The fourth man on the moon
But I've got it in my mind

I'd like to paint your eyes
But I've got to paint the sky
Going to be a painter all my life
As we tumbled down to earth
We felt the capsule turn
We saw the blue skies burn

As we splashed down in the sea
You were praying on your knees
It bought a change in me

And what you didn't see
I'll let you see through me
I'm going to paint the moon for you

Ever felt like giving up?
'We've felt like giving up'
Ever felt like giving up?
'All the time.'
