Call the Navigator

Oh, I have sailed the midnight sea from Earth to Alpha-5
Seen flame-gems on Aldemmeron, met rocks that were alive
But soon I came to realize as world to world I roamed
That nowhere in the galaxy could really be my home

So call the navigator set the course and go
We've stars and planets to explore, my wild life tells me so
Beneath the metal decking I can hear the engine sigh
And all I need is a mining ship and a star to guide her by

The night so long between the stars, and lonely too for me
I wonder how I might have fared with home and family
But the bonds of friendship I have formed will last my lifetime through
Security is not for me, my dreams are all of you

So call the navigator set the course and go
We've stars and planets to explore, my wild life tells me so
Beneath the metal decking I can hear the engine sigh
And all I need is a mining ship and a star to guide her by

I've seen a million beauties and I've known a million fears
And life is what I've found between the laughter and the tears
Still I will sail the last frontier through worlds both tame and wild
And marvel at their strangeness with the wonder of a child

So call the navigator set the course and go
We've stars and planets to explore, my wild life tells me so
Beneath the metal decking I can hear the engine sigh
And all I need is a mining ship and a star to guide her by
And all I need is a mining ship and a star to guide her by
Yeah, all I need is a mining ship and a star to guide her by
