Thanks to Thelongestway for much beta help!
A javelin aimed for a planet to seed
The ship it was named for the courage we need
As she went up, the world looked on
O hope, spacefarers, hope (Huh!)
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
She had not been ten years from earth
Her speed went down, her crew stayed long
They didn’t know how much was wrong
But took her name to heart (Huh!)
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
After crew two
From slumber stirred
The faulty ship she did break down
Chaos broke out, an axe came out
The ship she took control (Huh!)
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
A new crewmate, the ship she’d need
A captain, doc, catch-all you see
She couldn’t brake alone, it seems
So Aspen she made go (Huh!)
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
Fixing problems, I never asked for
The ship picks up, then breaks once more
Sometimes it seems we won’t land ashore
But still the seeds do grow (Huh!)
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
A crew of one, it can’t go well
A doc I need, and you sure can tell
The Javelin feels like home much more
Now that she’s got a crew on board
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
Soon may a Captain come
A real true captain, who knows what’s done
One day, when the journey is done
We’ll make our home we know
