Star-Filled Sea Lyrics

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
