We've Come So Far (Promising Tomorrows)

My apologies for the horrible quality.

The 1984 theme song for the Magic Kingdom's Space Mountain at Walt Disney World.

Music by George Wilkins, Lyrics by Larry Gertz.

Lyrics:
We've come so far,
yet there's so very far to go
We've watched our dreams become reality
We have tasted what the future has in store for us,
and realize that we hold all the keys

CHORUS:
And tomorrows filled with promise stretch forever
The future's like the never ending theme
Our lives are joined together, by the wonders of today
And the world we'll build together with our dreams

Dreams about tomorrow and the hope they bring
a better world for people everywhere
Shining like a beacon in our universe
Showing all the world how much we care

CHORUS:
And tomorrows filled with promise stretch forever
The future's like the never ending theme
Our lives are joined together, by the wonders of today
And the world we'll build together with our dreams

i like how the chords are the same as the starport song and star tunnel

Can't believe they managed to put lyrics to the Space Mountain Entrance Theme.

This needs to be played at the exit of every Space Mountain and at the end of the operating day at Epcot.

[MatthewMangabang]

Best song for Voyager 1, 2, and New Horizons!! Space is life

I was just buying the 1994 "A Souvenir Disney Songbook" on ebay recently when this song popped up in its list of arrangements, and it caught me off-guard, I had no idea they'd make sheet music for this!

[JohnDavidSnapp]

Disney should put this back at the end of Space Mountain, but re-record it with RCA artists of today.

[BearHugs]

Finally, I've been looking everywhere for this.

Where exactly in the ride was this used? I assume that it came before the actual ride portion of the show.

My sixth grade class sang this song at our 6th grade graduation. (One elementary school K-6, Jr./Sr. High School 7-12.)

[derekjasper]

Oh my god I been looking all over the internet for this. c:

[MrAwesomedude]

I think these people also sing the version of there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow in the unload theater of carousel of progress.

[wurlitzer]

The Never Gonna Let You Go guy also sang with Gloria Kaye these songs: "Dream Flight, " "Horizons, " and the "Seize the Future" jingle.

[Seallupus]

Would make the absolute PERFECT exit theme on the (now extinct) moving walkway! Fits tommorowland perfectly.

[nelly]

I wish there was clear audio of the duo version

[Xeno_Channel]

The image looks like an album cover? Is it? I would LOVE to have a physical copy of this!

[JoeyTABoy-kl]

Could imagine Ella Mai or Kehlani singing this !

[obviouslyweb]

This song perfectly encapsulates both the theme of Space Mountain and the hope for humanity and our future. It's so beautiful and melancholy, it's absolutely perfect

[trevorhare]

I finally found it, this will help me learn how to play the star tunnel music, if only I could find notes to this song, or even better, the star tunnel music! THANK YOU

[citizenofcorona]

Hopefully the current refurbishment they're doing to the exit ramp includes bringing this song back.

Ick! Somewhere between the 70s Carpenters and Christian "rock".
