Lyrics:

Chorus:
First ride out, Enterprise.
First voyage into the star-studded skies.
An end to the waiting, the guesses and the lies,
First ride out, Enterprise.

Much older people are watching us now,
Taking our measure — but they don’t know how.
Watching to see if we falter or flee.
They don’t know, they don’t know,
And neither do we.

(Chorus)

Wandering blindly, if that’s what it takes.
Taking the chances to make new mistakes.
Vulcans would never leave so much to chance.
They don’t know, they don't know,
That's how we advance.

(Chorus)

We know full well that we don’t know it all.
We search through the darkness expecting to fall.
We hold to each other and share what we earn.
They don't know, they don’t know
How fast we can learn.

(Chorus)

With each new encounter we learn or we die.
To keep safe from failure means you never try.
You hold to the patterns that served you so long.
You don’t know, you don’t know
You could have gone wrong.

(Chorus)

We won’t be led by the hand like a child.
We might be trained, but we’ll always be wild.
Is that the reason you fear or despise?
Do you know, do you know
How far we can rise?

(Chorus)
