For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
The learning and lessons of many ages
Spread before them a starry sea.
Since the dawn of history
We've been adding to the tree
A tree of knowledge blooming
With the fruit of discovery
For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
The learning and lessons of many ages
Spread before them a starry sea.
Like the ancients quest for knowledge
Our children will sail the great divide
In the process they will sow and reap
Across the star fields deep and wide
For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
The learning and lessons of many ages
Spread before them a starry sea.
This is the dream I hold for them
To take the tools we give them and build
For our generation had the chance
But somewhere we were forced to yield
But our children will roam and search
And colonize another world
For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
The learning and lessons of many ages
Spread before them a starry sea.
For our children will inherit the heavens
From the work we do today
For our children will get to travel
The voyages we long for today
