lyrics

Searching for the Frontier
©1998 Steven Macdonald

Going out and seeking land for us all
Journey through the vastness of space
Time to hit that C Plus wall
We must go to save our race

Refrain
Searching for the frontier now
We'll get out there, somehow
Searching for the frontier now

Doctor Bussard helped to give us a dream
A ramjet to build up speed
Or we set up a rigging and sail
Solar wind can carry us- we won't fail

Refrain

Bridge
Hyperdrive could still be our way out
Folding space cheats relativity now
Doc Smith talked about inertialessness
Doesn't matter how we go; we gotta meet the test

Instrumental

Refrain

Making our first solid steps into space
Establishing a lunar base
Freedom will wait for us all
Listen- can't you hear the call

Refrain x2
