Here I stand
The summit of it all
A decade's dream realized at last
My eyes upon you now
Forgotten craft
The statue of this age
No greater sign to what it is
To who we are
Flying forty thousand feet above the desert
Never thought I'd be the one to set foot in this place
Now I'm standing before Surveyor
And I can finally breathe in space
Here we stand
The apex of the mission
Contact light engine stop
Prepare to hit the mark
And now this man
Can greet this third machine
Still intact
Staring back
To where we are
Come within a hundred yards on another world
A marvel of radio-telemetry
All the years of endless training
Of stars and dark skies
Now am I the highest light
The bright inside the blind
Seeking to control the greatest flight
My beautiful Surveyor
You're right where they said you would be
With a rocket's great wrath
We set out for your distant shore
One small step closer to thee
Sent long ago
The beacon for our lifetime
You were right where they said you would be
Contact Earth rise
Don't let controls die
Wasted in my sight
Break in the dark
Silence your spark
Fill up all I can see
Surveyor
Down in the dust
A product of our mind
Sent Long ago for our future to find
Surveyor you're right they said you would be
