No Turning Back

Who could have ever guessed? A wish on a distant star
Never knowing that our needs would take us so very far
If the Source is watching and guiding us today...
Then surely she has found a place for us to stay

So roll up your sleeves, this must be the place
This is a new beginning or the end of the race
We must be well prepared, find all the things we lack
Remember my friends, there's no turning back, no turning back

O.K. now, let's get to work before the others arrive
Let's turn this dump into a home if we want to survive
The ozone's scarce, the air's too thick, there's natives to be subdued
The real crime of it all is: we can't use them for food

So roll up your sleeves and let's change this place
Remember your families aren't so far off in space
If the humáns become aware, they're bound to attack
Remember my friends, there's no turning back

(BRIDGE)
The vastness of the galaxy makes me feel so small
This ticking time bomb we called home has made orphans of us all,
orphans of us all... (alien chatter vocal solo improvisation)

Yes, they're stupid and barbaric  but, don't underestimate these fools
The leaders are symbolic, corporations make the rules
The rebels can be swiftly sent to anonymous graves
Of course the smart ones could be useful, they might make excellent slaves!

So roll up your sleeves, this must be the place
Closest habitation in the database
Working as a team, pick up any slack
Remember my friends, there's no turning back
So roll up your sleeves, this must be the place
Remember your families aren't so far off in space
We must be well prepared, find all the things we lack
Remember my friends, no turning back.
