I am just a farmer, I live to till the soil
I work each day from dawn to dusk, live by my sweat and toil
And though the world I farm is not the one that gave me birth
I'm still a simple farmer, that's the measure of my worth

So sail away with me upon a sea that's not been sailed before
Or heed the call of a shear rock wall rising up from an unknown floor
Together we'll write history, and we'll look ahead, not back
And we'll try to keep from memory the home we all now lack

My brother is a trapper, and he lives by hunting game
Strange new beasts and unknown dangers, no two days quite the same
And though he deals in skins and pelts that have ne'er been seen before
He's still a simple trapper, living by his wits and lore

So sail away with me upon a sea that's not been sailed before
Or heed the call of a shear rock wall rising up from an unknown floor
Together we'll write history, and we'll look ahead, not back
And we'll try to keep from memory the home we all now lack

…instrumental…

My wife was once a might voice in the Body Politic
Her work was law across a thousand worlds
But she left her privileged office, the status of her birth
When the Council that she worked for
Overrode her lonely veto
And burned down to the core
    Leaving lifeless, evermore
        A lovely, golden world we all once knew as the Earth

So now we sit beneath the darkening skies of our new home
Trace new constellations out upon our starry dome
And as we watch our children play, our pain grows once more keen
For to all of our descendents, this new world is their inheritance,
    And the Earth is just another place that they have never seen

So sail away with me upon a sea that's not been sailed before
Or heed the call of a shear rock wall rising up from an unknown floor
Together we'll write history, we'll look ahead, not back
And we'll try to keep from memory the home we all now lack
