Lyrics

Game Size

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars 

Once we saw a future 
Filled with our fears 
We knew the past 
Had so many tears 
We couldn't see a better day 

Now we know that there is 
A bright future here in store 
With the possibility 
Of so much more 

On our way 
We can make it 
We'll reach for the rising sun 
On our way 
Every day into the new millennium 
On our way 
We'll discover the secret of who we are 
On our way 
We'll reach out and touch a shooting star 
Now that we're on our way 

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars

Long Version

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars 

Once we saw a future
Filled with our fears 
We knew the past 
Had so many tears 
We couldn't see a better day 

We thought our frontiers
Had come to an end
With only borders left to defend
There had to be a better way

Now there's a reason
We've got something real to fight
Not even our wildest dreams
Are out of sight

* On our way
  We can make it 
  We'll reach for the rising sun 
  On our way 
  Every day into the new millennium 
  On our way 
  We'll discover the secret of who we are 
  On our way 
  We'll reach out and touch a shooting star 
  Now that we're on our way 

We're on our way 
At last, we are 
Someday we'll reach the stars

We fought with each other
For far too long
We couldn't stop although it was wrong
That was the sad reality

Now we know that there is 
A bright future here in store 
With the possibility 
Of so much more

On our way
We can do it
We'll take what we know is ours
On our way
It's our destiny to reach the farthest stars
On our way
We'll discover the reason we live and die
On our way
As our starships burst into the sky
Now that we're on our way

Now we know that there is 
A bright future here in store 
With the possibility 
Of so much
Of so much
Of so much more

* Repeat

** We're on our way 
   At last, we are
   Someday we'll reach the stars

** Repeat ×2
