Star-Filled Sea

We're outward bound to a new frontier
Leaving Earth and our lives so dear
Fill the void with humanity
Got a one-way ticket to the star-filled sea!

Our rocket stands tall on the pad
(Heeding the call and away we go)
Saying goodbyes both happy and sad
(An Earthly life, we shall forego)
Light this candle under me
Got a one-way ticket to the star-filled sea!

Settlers on route to Mars
Pressure tanks are at full bars
Systems operating nominally

Although we get the best of views
All our food gets squeezed from tubes
That's just life in microgravity

Hull's reinforced with alloyed lead
Radiation won't leave us dead
Let's keep our zygotes cancer free

Exercising two hours a day
Keeps the osteoblasts away
Maintain our bone density

Our trip now ends with seven minutes of fear
Screaming through the Martian atmosphere
Boots on the ground from our capsule freed

Frozen water beneath these rocks
Drill it up to grow our crops
Let's avoid food scarcity

Heat the planet 'til it's warmed
Won't stop 'til it's terraformed
Near the Earth's air density

Solar system's our starting place
Ever expanding the human race
Toward all distant galaxies
