[Verse 1]

Three men sit tensely waiting for the dawn

The brilliant burst of fire that will carry them on

The anticipation grows for the crew that waits below

In the endless breathless hours before the dawn

[Chorus]

Star Fire, Star Fire

Bear my soul to touch the universe beyond

[Verse 2]

Ten thousand hands to build the shining shell

It took a dozen years and love to build it well

Everyone who touched its berth

Though they be bound on Earth

Will be with the astronauts that in her dwell

[Chorus]

Star Fire, Star Fire

Its singing in my blood, I know it well

[Verse 3]

We can know the promise of the stars

Seeking 'till we find that heritage is ours

And with hearts both true and bold

We will face what we behold

When we seek to find our answer in the stars

[Chorus]

Star Fire, Star Fire

The promise of the universe is ours

Star Fire, Star Fire

The promise of the universe is ours
