Alpha Boötis - Pioneer's Hymn Lyrics

Many years ago, we set a desperate course
Aiming for the stars that shone above our dying home
The best and brightest of all; our people's only hope
We set out to discover a world to call our own

We're lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again

Through the endless skies we sail across the night
Far beyond the wildest dreams of those we left behind
Centuries had passed, our hopes were fading fast
A thousand planets, a thousand suns
We searched and found at last

We're lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again

We're lost along the milky way
Never to see the earth again

We'd almost given up, we'd settled in despair
Till we finally stumbled on the answer to our quest
Through the great wormhole, beyond the new frontier
In Orion's Belt we will rebuild a biosphere

We are the Pioneers
We roam amongst these lonely stars
We are the last of us
We bear the hopes and dreams of all our kind

Will we find a home for our kin?
Or be lost forevermore?
We are nearing the last flicker of light
We must plant the seeds of rebirth

So, we'll live on in a new earth
So, we'll live on as roots and grass

Through the endless skies
We finally reached our goal
Far beyond the wildest dreams
We build a brave new home

We are the Pioneer's
We built this world from hope and stardust
We have become as gods
Demiurges of a new kingdom of man

We will live on through our creation
We brought forth the blessings of life
