Bob Chilcott: The Angry Planet
Five Days that Changed the World: V. Wednesday 12 April 1961: The First Man in Space
I saw how beautiful our planet is
17,000 miles an hour
They thought I might go mad
I might go mad
But I saw the face
The face of God
The son of a carpenter circling
'Round the Earth
I saw how beautiful our planet is
April 12th, 1961
Stars are the alphabet
The alphabet of God
108 minutes
108 minutes
Can it be that you have come from outer space?
Well yes, and I've seen something beautiful
Keep this beauty safe
And let it grow, let it grow
Stars are the smile of God
His face was the Earth looking back
520 people
520 people
Have seen how beautiful
Beautiful it is
It is
17,000 miles an hour
They thought I might go mad
I might go mad
But I saw the face
The face of God
The son of a carpenter circling
'Round the Earth
I saw how beautiful our planet is
April 12th, 1961
Stars are the alphabet
The alphabet of God
108 minutes
108 minutes
Can it be that you have come from outer space?
Well yes, and I've seen something beautiful
Keep this beauty safe
And let it grow, let it grow
Stars are the smile of God
His face was the Earth looking back
520 people
520 people
Have seen how beautiful
Beautiful it is
It is
