We Built This World

[Verse] Long ago we found the spark Made a flame out of the dark We wrote stories in the dust Built our dreams in earth and rust [Verse] Found a way to feed the land Water crisscrossed by our hand Printed words on parchment thin Told our tales in ink and skin [Chorus] We built this world Brick by brick From the ancient times To modern tricks We soared the skies Tamed the seas From the smallest spark To grandest dreams [Verse] Birds flew high we dreamed to fly With wings of steel we touched the sky The atom split the power claimed Both light and dark by us were tamed [Verse] Once our feet walked on the earth Now on moon we found our worth Steps in sand and steps in stone Human spirit seeds we've sown [Bridge] From the cavemen’s fire to rockets' roar Every step we took we wanted more We count the stars we sail the moon The journey's just begun so soon
