We’ve seen our world destroyed All its people scattered If we ever hope to change the game The rules must alter So for the glory of our race We’ll set our sights for when We can fly through the night To find an aim, a hope, a way To shine a light on our fate How we long to finally see the day Our great nation rise To its rightful place as sovereign ruler Of the stars, we knew we’d start A federation fire When we’d fly through the night To find an aim, a hope, a way To shine a light on our fate How we long to finally see the day We journey home Though we’d gladly sacrifice our lives To save all of Romulus
