1.	Island One 04:43	lyrics
Imagine a giant cylindrical object in space It’s called Island One, a very remarkable place A gentle rotation that simulates Earth gravity An outside-in world, the very first space colony The sun provides energy twenty-four hours a day Zero-G industries busily working away The settlers are coming in shuttles from Earth every day From all walks of life to a better tomorrow today
2.	Distantly 01:39	lyrics
Distantly he said I can see to land Time surpassed us and rest was close at hand Moving danger has almost passed us by Gently downwards and soaring as we will fly Buckled in as atmospheres begin to show a sign Figures on the read-out screen are keeping us in line Captain gave the word to all that we will soon touch down Pride is written on the face and valour on the crown Have you ever been on a journey as grand? Steady passengers we’re about to land
3.	The New Pioneers 02:41	lyrics
We got the clearance from Security And I am soon to be rejoined with my family We’ve got a place in central Island One We should be settled in before the school year’s begun We are the settlers of the new high frontier Among the first ones, the new pioneers My brother’s coming in a week or two He’ll be a farm technician on the agro-pod crew Our names will all go down in history The first inhabitants to live in a space colony We are the settlers of the new high frontier Among the first ones, the new pioneers
4.	As We Look To The Stars 02:22	lyrics
It was not enough to recognize the error of our ways Pray that nature can restore herself and forgive us our disgrace As we look to the stars We can see into infinity, we must not be afraid We’re receiving solar energy from collectors out in space And adopted new technology to recycle all our waste As we look to the stars We can clearly see our destiny; we must search for the truth In the era of discovery such a story to be told We turned dreams into reality, let us ever be as bold As we take to the stars How can we ignore their beckoning, we must never stand still
5.	Daydreaming 01:15	lyrics

6.	Down By A Clear Water Brook 07:59	lyrics
I had a daydream, I can remember There was just me and you We were both running through fields of tall grass Still wet with morning dew We wandered barefoot to wooded havens And time stood still a while I saw it coming, the signs were showing I saw your fragile smile Down by a clear water brook Treasure the moments that we took We ventured further, the path we followed Began to wind and twist Deep in the forest where sounds are muted There was a gentle mist A brook was babbling, a crow was cawing We did not speak a word We were receiving the wholeness feeling With every sound we heard Down by a clear water brook Treasure the moments that we took Far from the city in alpine meadows The mountains kiss the sky The flowers blooming, the glaciers gleaming All just for you and I And I awaken, with you beside me And all our dreams come true We are receiving the wholeness feeling And I will stay with you Down by a clear water brook Treasure the moments that we took
7.	The Greening 08:22	lyrics
In time there came the greening, we at last became aware Of our imminent destruction, if we didn't start to care We had scorched and gouged the planet 'til it had no more to give Thinking only of the dollar, not how human kind will live But the activists persisted ‘til the politicians caved And even multinationals had changed how they behaved Environmental issues had become the prime concern And through concentrated efforts the tide began to turn Environmentally friendly - the operating theme Ceasing our polluting ways became the master scheme Recycling and rebuilding, giving back to Mother Earth So that life that once came from the sea could ratify rebirth And meanwhile in concert with the terrestrial campaign It’s no longer just a dream to include space in Man’s domain In self sufficient colonies man lives and works in space In tune with this alternative the Earth’s a better place We have industries in orbit using solar energy And exploiting the advantages of zero gravity We mine the moon and asteroids, new alloys have been made And with advances in space medicine the cost is being repaid In the era of discovery, such a story to be told We turned dreams into reality; let us ever be as bold Relieved from our dependencies and the damage we had done We call these times The Greening and we’ve only just begun
8.	Brand New Star 04:32	lyrics
When I look to the clear night sky I can see with my naked eye It's a brand new star Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star) Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star) When I stand here beside my love Feel the warmth from the sun above It's a brand new world Can you see (We have made this a brand new world) Can you see (Once again such a beautiful world) This no ordinary star Just as bright but not as far Standing here with you tonight Can you see that shining light Moving silent, cross the sky Make a wish then say goodbye Light of day I still see the star I can hear a gentle voice from afar From a brand new star Come with me (Come with me to a brand new star) Come with me (Come with me to a brand new star) Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star) Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star) This no ordinary star Just as bright but not as far Standing here with you tonight Can you see that shining light Moving silent, cross the sky Hear my wish then say goodbye Light of day I still see the star I can hear a gentle voice from afar From a brand new star Come with me (Come with me to a brand new star) Come with me (Come with me to a brand new star) Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star) Can you see (Can you see it's a brand new star)
9.	A Call From Island One 06:26	lyrics
Telecom recording: "You have reached the Island One SpaceLink Network. For Island Two or Island Three connections, press 1. For Earth connections, press 2. Thank you from Lagrange Communications." [Ring] Wife: "Hello?" Hello babe, I got your e-mail today I've been waiting patiently I can't wait until your training's complete And your standing here with me Island One is a paradise world As you're soon about to see I think you'll be very comfortable It's as pleasant as can be And your first space flight It will be alright It's really quite routine And out your window You'll see the stars glow Unlike you've ever seen You've never been We'll be living in a family suite With a view of Island Three I've been working with the life support crew And our job is near complete We're working steady To make it ready There are three shifts a day The people waiting Anticipating When they can come to stay They're on their way Let me know what time your shuttle arrives And I'll meet you at the gate I have missed you since I left you on Earth And now I can hardly wait Say hi to mother And all the others Please tell them all to write My time is up now I must hang up now I'll dream of you tonight Sweet dreams tonight
10.	Space Bike (Human Powered Flight) 11:19	lyrics
I’ve got a bicycle with wings One of the strangest looking things It’s got twin propellers, left and right A means for human powered flight Space bike, Space bike Human powered flight Space bike The central axis is the place Where you are weightless like in space Don’t venture too far from the line With laser guidance you should be fine And here we go! Surrounded by the valley bed Below, beside and overhead There's no such thing as up or down Every direction points to the ground And here we go again!
11.	First Native Citizen 03:09	lyrics
First native citizen was born on Island One A healthy baby boy, a new life just begun And mother giving birth in zero gravity Said it was easier than she thought it would be First baby born in space was weightless at his birth An extraterrestrial whose parents came from Earth His dad commutes each day from Island One to Island Three He's working in construction but he just made history When he gets home this evening he'll be handing out cigars The finest from the agro-pods, tobacco of the stars Now it's time to celebrate, we've come a long, long way When work on Island Three is done we'll take a holiday
12.	Seventh Heaven 03:09	lyrics
Seasons passing through the mind Never knowing what you'll find Pacing steady through the storms Looking for familiar forms Sitting inside comfort's wall See the future standing tall Should we choose to travel far Breakaway spectacular Wonder how you would react If your theory was attacked I've a place inside my mind Me and my guitar unwind We see mankind as a better being Watching on the ocean waves Making sure the shore behaves Silent memories cloud the view All my thoughts return to you Your smile takes me for a ride Seventh heaven widens stride Elevator's going down You and I don't fool around Living far beyond our dreams Not as easy as it seems If mankind is to survive Global peace must soon arrive We must be more than a passing fancy
13.	Starlight 02:29	lyrics
Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight My universal child I've never seen your eyes so wide Come with me a while A trip to Saturn I think would be your style Once around the Moon Just to get in tune Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight Have you seen the rings They look lovely in the spring There are many things You must experience But you'll have to earn your wings Once around the Sun It's just for fun Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight Starlight, starlight Any star you wish to see tonight Any star you wish to see tonight Any star you wish to see tonight
14.	Where Are We Going From Here? 07:24	lyrics
Tell me where are we going from here Tell me where will we be in a year We have seen as the ages go by We can do anything if we try Shall we go explore our Solar system and beyond Searching for the answers Shall we ever carry on There are those among us Who believe we're not alone Can it be the universe Is our exclusive home By the virtue of all that is dear Tell me where are we going from here
