Vista previa
Went to buy me a paper
at the local newsstand
and then I heard them laugh and say
"look, they´re gonna go flying
way up to the moon now
hey, what´s it good for anyway"
so I said "Fellers
like to ask you a thing if I may:
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way?
Tell me wasn´t it worth the while
travelling up the Nile
putting themselves on test
didn´t that help the rest?
Wasn´t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?"
And all of those fellers
at the local newsstand
didn´t know what to answer or what to say
so I told them about him
that he was just like
one of those spacemen in his way
and if you laugh at them
then there´s only a thing I can say
"What about Livingstone?
What about all those men
who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way?
Tell me wasn´t it worth the while
travelling up the Nile
putting themselves on test
didn´t that help the rest?
Wasn´t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?"
