Story Behind the Song
Well, it just had to be done, you know. Judging on the degree of devotion from its followers, their passion, and how they even mold their lives around it, Star Trek is probably more a religion than some of the better-known spiritual organizations on this planet.
Lyrics
Star Trek Heaven
(c) 2000 by Joe Kretschmer, ASCAP
[Chorus]
Oh, take me up to Star Trek Heaven, that's where my soul will boldly go.
That's where I'll live long and prosper, 'neath the Enterprise's glow.
Where life is always at warp speed, and Scotty beams us up on high.
Oh, take me to Star Trek Heaven when I die...
Oh, I wanna go with Mr. Spock, his ears will point the way.
Set my phasers all on stun, and stow my gear in the cargo bay.
Set a course for Alpha Four, and take me up to warp speed five.
It's there I'll finally get a life, which I didn't have when I was alive! [Chorus]
Old friends and comrades I will meet, and aliens by the score.
Picard and Kirk will wave to me as I beam up through the floor.
Vulcans will feel emotions, they'll weep for joy and pride.
And Romulans and Klingons will be dancing side by side.
[Bridge]
Amazing space, how sweet the sight, of star clusters in the galaxy.
I once was a nerd, but now I'm all right, thanks to Starfleet Academy.
[Repeat chorus]
