Just another family, striking out anew Hope and fear together blend, an unsettling brew Troubled lands and troubled times left so far behind Memories both sad and dear must be kept alive
Very few had everything, many more were poor Over everybody hung looming dread of war So they traded futures grim for uncertainty Giving all they ever had for one chance to be
Masters of their very fates, under virgin skies Free from others past mistakes, looking with new eyes Pioneers, they venture forth, into lands untamed Navigating by the stars' distant, constant flames
Cramped ships cabins can't contain boundless, leaping hearts Dropping through the atmosphere, a new frontier to start Waiting as the gangplank drops from the spaceship door Standing at the threshold with a world spread before
