I want to follow
When the red hawk cries
I need to fly
When the stars alight
I must arise
And I want to colonize the universe
Put farms on Mars
Asteroids we'll mine
The moons become
Vacation homes
The rich stay rich
But even so
The galaxies we all will roam
And I'll never be happy
And I'll never be free
If I'm earth-bound forever
The stars will never belong to me
So drive yourselves,
My fellow humans
Know that we
Are not alone
Statistically
There're many natives
We must not treat them callously
Be ye warned
That somewhere out there
Intelligence
Is in strange faces
Learn from the past
Lest we repeat it
Lay down your arms and fly in peace
And I'll never be happy
And I'll never be free
As long as we hate what's other
The stars will never belong to me
Fund ships not wars
Build large space stations
Feed the poor
And educate them
Indulge sci-fi
Imaginations
Always fight some more forever
Tomorrow sings
With hope and promise
But don't forget
Today, be honest
Everything
You say and do
No one can ever be blamed but you
And I'll never be happy
And I'll never be free
As long as we just blame each other
The stars will never belong to me
And I'll finally be happy
And I'll finally be free
When the worlds above our heads
When the stars belong to you and me
