about

Written by Gary Wilcox

lyrics

All the talk was of Armstong, and Aldrin
I even heard mention of Yuri Gagarin
But Alan Bean, the fourth on the scene, they forgot you
But Alan Bean, the fourth on the scene, we salute you here

We have become obsessed with the Gold, Silver and Bronze
We have forgotten it's not in the winning, it's the taking part
We just want to win the race
We've forgotten about the thrill of the chase
And so I sing my song to the great unsung
And so I sing my song to the great unsung

And Peter Gavuzzi, known in his town but not beyond
Yet he should be more famous
than Sebastian Coe, or Usain Bolt
He ran for miles, but the annals of time, have forgotten him
We should ensure, that our children in School, learn about him

We have become obsessed with the Gold, Silver and Bronze
We have forgotten it's not in the winning, it's the taking part
We just want to win the race
We've forgotten about the thrill of the chase
And so I sing my song to the great unsung
And so I sing my song to the great unsung

For every Florence Nightingale, there's a nurse without a name
Working without fanfare, in every minute of every day
For every Thomas Edison there's a man with an idea
And so I sing my song to the great unsung
And so I sing my song to the great unsung
And so I sing my song.......to the great unsung.
