Voyager

[Part One: On the Ocean] Out there on the ebbing tide Turning to the setting sun Out into the Great Sea To the pillars and then further on Sailing north beyond the gates Off the charts and out of time Wanderers beneath the stars Voyagers on unknown paths Heading further out To walk a distant shoreline To reach the source of a river The Mountains of the Moon Beyond the next headland Over the far horizon Out into the open seas To find out who we are Measuring the shadows Guided by the stars and sounding weights Track the arrow-flight of birds To read the signs, the distant trace Men changed into standing stones And water turned to ice Where the sun has gone to rest A wilderness, an emptiness Heading further out To walk a distant shoreline To reach the source of a river The Mountains of the Moon Beyond the next headland Over the far horizon Out under the open skies See how far we've come [Part Two: The Farthest Shore] [Instrumental] [Part Three: The Pillars of Hercules] With the sounds of distant Earth And a trace of love Carried out to the heavens above Dare to wonder Dare to try Free from the bonds of the sun Flying further on 50 moons and four worlds Sketches made in fading light Ten miles a second Out there in the space between the stars Set a course for the brightest world An ocean moon Seek the story of life Before the last long burn is done Before a distant end Before the final act Diving through the rings A heartbeat reaching out to home No land, no brave new world Just signals running out of time [Part Four: Further Beyond] [Instrumental] [Part Five: Grand Finale] [Instrumental] [Part Six: The Space Between the Stars] Go further on Out to the stars All systems down Silent and strong Go further on See what can be done Where we came from Where we will end [Part Seven: Homecoming] Here she comes From faraway skies Here she flies Voyager has come home Heading further out To reach uncharted shorelines Setting sail for the distant stars The wonder of new worlds Beyond the next headland Over the far horizon Out into the open skies To find out what we are How far we've come How far we can go
