I want to stand by ancient rivers,
I want to gaze at antique hills
On a new land before us that challenges our native skills
A rover here I stand, and a wanderer would be
To a place so far away across a silent starry sea
Chorus
Spreading our wings to leave our earthly dome
To walk among the stars and to colonize new homes
From Terra we will fly to the black veil of space
The Red Planet and beyond is a dream for the human race
Oh Opportunity and Spirit will keep this dream alive
We have the knowledge and the courage, and certainly the drive
Technology and fortitude that come from many hands
The need and the desire that come from many many lands. (chorus)
For centuries our eyes we have lifted to see the black traverse
And we reflect upon it's vastness, our place in the universe
We've only just reached Luna, and have yet to touch the Stars
Sooner than we think our children may be visiting from Mars
Bridge
Answers to life's beginning may be found
Beyond our atmosphere on Martian ground
For if the probes we have sent are relaying true
Water once existed there a sign life could exist there too
It's not our fate that we should stay here to be trapped upon this soil
For we are born explorers we have sweated and have toiled
We are always reaching, always searching, always learning still
The call of the great unknown shall ever beckon to our will (chorus)
I want to stand by ancient rivers, I want to gaze at antique hills
On a new land before us that challenges our native skills
We are always reaching, always searching, always learning still
The call of the great unknown shall ever beckon to our will
Spreading our wings to leave our earthly dome
To walk among the stars and colonize new homes
From Terra we will fly to the black veil of space
The Red Planet and beyond is a dream for the human race
From Terra we will fly to the black veil of space
The Red Planet and beyond is a dream for the human race
