Wagonmaster:

Load up the wagons. We’re getting out of here.

Though the road that we must travel is so very long.

Load up the wagons. Take only what you need.

Gotta start my whole life over before it’s gone.

 

Like days gone by, our warriors need supplies.

And strong hands to load them, like days gone by.

Recruitment Officer

Hey, you there! And your friends too!

Come closer and get a life that’s new!

 

If you want options and opportunities, you’d better reserve your seat.

You say you’ve got an urge to make it on your own, but this world has got you beat.

This world has got you beat.

All of your life you’ve been saving your money so your kids can live better than you.

Are you really surprised they feel paralyzed? There just isn’t anything to do.

There just isn’t anything to do.

 

Are you Earthbound…so totally old fashioned that you can’t see past the sun?

Are you Earthbound…afraid of the unknown? Take my offer and make this run.

 

You’re tired. You’re bored. You’ve got nothing to show. You’ve got nowhere that you must be.

We need volunteers to get things on the road, out there in the colonies.

Out there in the colonies.

If you’ve got the heart of an adventurer, then why should you stay where you are?

Or maybe sir, think about your family. You can build a fortune in the stars.

You can build a fortune in the stars.

 

Are you Earthbound…so totally old fashioned that you can’t see past the sun?

Are you Earthbound…afraid of the unknown? Take my offer and make this run.

 

Wagonmaster:

Pioneer, heading out past the sun

Pioneer, your new life just begun.

Pioneer, pioneer.
