A cosmic ocean beckons a spheral island at night,

answering questions with questions with distant, ancient light.

Ephemeral lives will wrestle with the parallax in our sight.

Each strives with new perspective for a distant cosmic flight.

With an ancient command for collective human resolve,

with a divinely conferred destiny to explore, extend, and evolve,

we followed the ancient vision within the human mind

in a small step for a man, a giant leap for humankind.

Somewhere in this cosmos of magnificient desolation,

we'll extend the human family and create a newborn nation.

Waves of pioneers will leave their native land.

The human race will go to space to follow the ancient command.
