The Journey Home

Chris Snyder and Evan Korzon
(SoundGod)

In 2371 they set out 
To persue a lawless crue
Who were fighting for their homes and families 
In the only way they knew
The federation counsel had signed their homes away 
To a former enemy,
But the colonists didn't take that lying down 
So they formed the Maquis
One day a Maquis ship was flying through the bad lands 
Persued by a warlike race,
When an alien scanned their ship and brought them cross 
The deep black void of space.
They found themselves a really long way from home; 
The return was 75 years.
But that wasn't all, the alien had stollen 
One of their best engineers.
 
The Delta quadrant's a vast and hostile place
So they got to get back To Federation space.
They'll continue their directive, to seek out the unknown,
But their main objective's to get home.

The Voyager crew went in persuit of the Maquis ship 
That disappeared in the bad lands.
For one of the missing crewmen had been 
Captain Janeway's under cover man.
The x-maquis told them what course to set 
And the captain and her crew complied.
But the starship nearly shook itself apart 
And 'bout half the crewmen died.
The alien brought them to the Delta array and took an ensign, 
Janeway took the lead.
She told Chacotay they should team up to find the crewmen 
And the Indian Maquis agreed.
They found two natives to help them in their search 
A funny man and a beautiful girl.
They thought their missing people might have been beamed over 
To a near by underground world.

Chorus

They got their people back and now the crews have joined forces 
To attempt to reach their far off home.
But the alien he died before he could send them back 
So now they're on their own.
With the help of Neelix and Kes 
They try to get home in a shorter time
But in the third season kes decides to leave 
And now they've got a Borg named Seven Of Nine.
Though their home is such a long way away 
They've overcome so much adversity
They keep looking out at different ports of call 
For new technology.
So now the crew shall journey on, 
The endless space they'll roam.
Through all their plight, the crew will fight, 
And they all will get back home.
