The whole world was painted
Black and white
Then a spark was struck
A brand new satellite
The sixties roared in
With a Paisley tie
A sleek shining eye
Opened up the sky
Elvis sings a million miles away
Electrons paint a cultural display
Across the oceans
Come signals uniting, dividing
Over the years
It will continue providing
Milhous wipes his brow
J F K speaks For the world
Nickie bangs his shoe
Jackie smiles, not impressed
Our footsteps were etched for eternity
A new world will build a fraternity
We've thrived on those signals of dreams
We've strived to make sense of those beams
Derangement could always ignite
Our motives must always burn bright
