Consider this lyric and accompanying some my own personal tribute to all of the wonderful, glorious, and totally campy sci-fi shows and movies that I grew up watching back in the 70s and 80s. Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Space:1999, Star Blazers, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon...you name it, it's all in there somewhere :-)

Showdown in Space

Song Link: https://youtu.be/oib320bbxaU?si=DvFZ_FIrMq7L2gHs

[Verse 1]

Down on the ground

The alarms sound

Invaders come from

Beyond our sun

We launch, we race

Toward outer space

Our ships fly steady

Weapons ready

[Pre-Chorus]

Thrusters fire

As we soar higher

[Chorus]

Another showdown in space

For the human race

We’re defending Earth

For all we’re worth

As we all fight

With beams of light

The future awaits

Showdown in space

[Musical Interlude]

[Verse 2]

As they attack

We hold them back

We’re looping, swerving

Climbing, curving

Our blasters blazing

Our hearts racing

Missiles are flying

Pilots dying

[Pre-Chorus]

We’re not running

But they keep coming

[Chorus]

Another showdown in space

For the human race

We’re defending Earth

For all we’re worth

As we all fight

With beams of light

The future awaits

Showdown in space

[Musical Interlude]

[Verse 3]

The aliens

Have us outgunned

We know their threat

Must be well met

Heroes stand tall

And save us all

But there’s a cost

Many are lost

[Pre-Chorus]

Legends are born

Battle scars worn

[Chorus]

Another showdown in space

For the human race

We’re defending Earth

For all we’re worth

As we all fight

With beams of light

The future awaits

Showdown in space

[Bridge]

We destroy the alien ships one by one

Until the invaders are all gone

Earth’s defenders are glorious

As we emerge victorious

[Chorus]

Another showdown in space

For the human race

We’re defending Earth

For all we’re worth

As we all fight

With beams of light

It’s a fate we embrace

Showdown in space

[Verse 1]

The doctor came into his room

Said the surgery went well

We think you’ll walk again

But it’s too soon to tell

The boy lay there and listened

From his hospital bed

Looked down at his legs

And quietly said

[Chorus]

I’ll walk again

I’m gonna run

You just wait and see

I’ll show everyone

I’ll give it all I got

And I’ll do the best I can

Yeah, you just wait an’ see

I’ll walk again

[Verse 2]

He looks through his bedroom window

Watches the other kids play

They’re having so much fun

It’s a pretty day

He slowly tries to stand up

Falls back down in his chair

Through his pain and his tears

He silently swears

[Chorus]

I’ll walk again

I’m gonna run

You just wait and see

I’ll show everyone

I’ll give it all I got

And I’ll do the best I can

Yeah, you just wait an’ see

I’ll walk again

[Bridge]

The doctor says it’s too soon

But he just can’t wait any longer

And with each small step he takes

He gets a little stronger

Friends and family cheer him on

Every step of the way

And as he crosses the room

They all hear him say

[Chorus]

I’ll walk again

I’m gonna run

You just wait and see

I’ll show everyone

I’ll give it all I got

And I’ll do the best I can

Yeah, you just wait an’ see

I’ll walk again
