Pioneer's Song
We sent them out to the planets to worlds beyond our own Where frail men dared not venture they travel on alone Though they be no more than robots to the stars themselves they steer And we wish them on their journey all the luck of the pioneer
They set their course for Jupiter the ruler of the worlds To gain their speed from his mighty pull as from a slingshot hurled They stole for us his image, his secrets guarded dear But gave in turn a royal gift in the luck of the pioneer
Then on and out to Saturn, the ringed queen of skies And through the very rings themselves they carried our distant eyes We feared them for their safety, but they could know no fear And they left their name on the gap they found by the luck of the pioneer
The sun grows dim behind them, a billion miles or more Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The stars are there before them, a glittering distant shore An age will pass before the day a strange sun draws them near And 'till that day we'll raise a toast to the luck of the pioneer
But should some other find them as the galaxy they roam And study these strange craft of ours and seek to learn their home They carry our maps upon them in friendship written clear And we give to the race that finds them all the luck of the pioneer
And when men someday follow to the places they have been We'll take the paths they've marked for us and see the sights they've see To Jupiter and Saturn to the stars themselves we'll steer And we pray that God but grant us then the luck of the pioneer Aye, we pray that God but grant us then the luck of the pioneer
