lirik lagu pioneer’s song – julia ecklar & leslie fish
we sent them out to the planets
to worlds beyond our own
where frail men dared not venture
they traveled on alone
though they be no more than robots
to the stars 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 then 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!
the stars are e’er before them
a glittering distant shore
an age will pass before the day
a strange sun draws them near
and ’til 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
why, they carry our maps upon them
in friendship written clear
and we give to the race that reads them
all the luck of the pioneer!
and when men someday follow
to the paces they have been
we’ll take the paths they’ve marked for us
and see the sights they’ve seen
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!
