(Van Dyne / Taylor)

Together, we have made it to Mars
Let today mark mankind's first sol

We now stand on a past fixation
Building upon the generations
It's been a long time coming for fate
Staking our claim in celestial space
Braving this mission and facing great risk
Of never returning, preparing for this

The first sol
Another step for man
Answered calling
Beyond the expanse
The first sol
A solar mark in time
Inspiration
To feed the human mind

Yeah

Conquering limits of exploration
Our success is a calculation
Uncompromising landscapes await
Taking campaign to this foreign place
Blazing transmissions inferring premise
Forever researching incurring permit

The first sol
Another step for man
Answered calling
Beyond the expanse
The first sol
A solar mark in time
Inspiration
To feed the human mind

The first sol

Answered calling
Beyond the expanse
The first sol
A solar mark in time
Inspiration
To feed the human mind

Ladies and gentlemen
You are witnessing history in the making
Five brave souls from a privately funded space agency
Have officially planted the first human footprints
Upon the face of the Martian soil
For all of us here on Earth
This is the dawn of a new day
