Come, come! O Spacemen, come!
Rest your weary hands
And sing along, the glory ours
The braves of Terran lands

We dare to soar, to venture far
Sail through a boundless space
Unfettered few, unbound to earth
Between the worlds, we race

Straddled high, the world below
Bound to land, afar
Unlike our kind, the Spacemen free
Our lives among the star

They gaze above with dreamy eyes
Yearning to be free
As we look down, beneath the clouds
With sadness we can see

So pause, between your wanderings
All you young cadets
Join your kind in Spacemen’s inn
And cool your burning jets

And sing, sing! O Spacemen, sing!
So long as we can stand
Sing the song of glory ours
The braves of Terran lands
