"Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins"

In "Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins," the line "Millions of hearts were lifted" is sung to an ascending melody (D D D G G A B), and "lifted" is sung with an ascending melisma (although only an interval of a second:  A B).  Both of these features illustrate the word's meaning.

As if to parallel the subject of three astronauts, the song is in 3/4, with three beats in each measure.
