[Verse 1: ModernMedieval]
We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
And do the other things
Not because they are easy
But because they are hard
Because that goal will serve to organize and measure
The best of our energies and skills

We choose to go to the moon
We choose to go to the moon in this decade
Because that challengе is one that we are willing to accеpt
One we are unwilling to postpone
And one which we intend to win

[Verse 2: Royal Opera Chorus]
We set sail (We set sail) on this new sea
Because there is new knowledge to be gained
New rights to be won
And they must be won and used for the progress of all people
For space science, like nuclear science and technology
Has no conscience of its own
Whether it will become a force for good or ill
Depends on man

Whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace
Or a new terrifying theater of war
A theater of war
(Instrumental)

[Interlude: Pembroke College Girls' Choir]
For the eyes of the world now look into space
The moon and the planets beyond
With hopes for knowledge and peace

For the eyes of the world now look into space
The moon and the planets beyond

(Instrumental)

[Verse 3: Pene Pati & Danielle de Niese]
We have vowed that we shall not see space filled with weapons
But with instruments of knowledge

We have vowed that we shall not
See it governed by a hostile flag
But with a banner of freedom and peace

There is no strife, no prejudice
No conflict in outer space

Its conquest deserves the very best of all mankind

[Royal Opera Chorus, Pene Pati & Danielle de Niese]
We choose to go to the moon. (But why, some say, the moon?)
We choose to go to the moon. (Why choose this as our goal?)
We choose to go to the moon. (Why, 35 years ago)
We choose to go to the moon. (Fly the Atlantic?)
And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain?
Why?

Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory
Who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked
Why did he want to climb it

(He said,)
"Because it's there."
"Because it's there."

[Finale: Royal Opera Chorus, Pene Pati, & Danielle de Niese]
Space is there (Well, space is there)
And we're going to climb it
Space is there (and the moon and planets are there)
Space is there (and new hopes for knowledge)
And peace are there

We choose to go to the moon. (And, therefore as we set sail)
We choose to go to the moon. (We ask God's blessing)
We choose to go to the moon. (on the most hazardous and) dangerous and

Greatest adventure, the
Greatest adventure, the
Greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked
We choose the moon
We choose the stars
We choose the sky

We choose to
Go!


We choose to go!
We choose to go!
We choose to...

Go!!!!!!
