Alan Bean - Hefner

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.'
