A Simple Yet Powerful Step

We consider the biggest steps in life

As those that take the most courage;

A step in which we explore our very existence,

A step to realize that what we fear should be nothing at all...

Just like how the founders of our lands;

Those we thank for our lives on these soils,

Started with a simple yet powerful step;

To step into the unknown and explore this Earth...

To take such a step represents our humanity;

To look at a blurred line guarding an unknown world

And rebel against our fears, both mine and yours;

As we set foot upon the unseen land and finally understand...

Just like this, we looked up into the night sky;

Imagining what could become of us if we ever touched it,

To explore a world never understood by us for millions of years;

To fly into the night and explore yet another blurry world...

We sit here now at this very moment in time

To look up at the beautiful night

And realize that their journeys beyond ordinary;

Steps of unprecedented courage and curiosity;

Steps that challenged the fears of the entire human race,

Took us beyond the edges of our known reality

And brought us closer yet again to the meaning of our existence...

For millions of years our species has looked up and wondered,

Only fifty years ago did we finally take the leap of faith;

Another step in our exploration to understand our existence,

That one man carried the wonders of an entire humanity

As Yuri Gagarin flew higher than the rest and touched the night sky.
