It was a warm summer's night when I sat down to write
The prettiest song ever written about Star Trek

The sky was clear
Full of stars above
I thought of Kirk and his crew
And their mission of love
And I sang the first verse
Of the prettiest song ever written about Star Trek

When the words came out
Everything was wrong
For those who'd boldly go
Had already gone
'Cause the show was cancelled
And the dream was dead
And a red alert started wailing in my head
And I realized I had written
The saddest song ever written
About Star Trek

Now the sky was dark
Devoid of love
And Roddenberry's ashes were floating up above
Raining down on a man
Singing the saddest song ever written about Star Trek

And now Bones is nothing but bones
He finally went and took his final voyage home
And Scotty's body just couldn't take much more
And I'm sure this is the saddest
Song ever written about Star Trek

I thought about space
And the final frontier
And I shed a tear as I finished
The saddest song ever written about Star Trek
