David Rovics - Make It So lyrics

In the 24th century Everything is peachy keen Everybody has enough The replicators replicate all kinds of cool stuff You can wander all across the universe No quadrant is too far off to traverse Exploration is humanity's highest goal They've discovered all kinds of planets, they're really on a roll How can we get there from here? We've lost our way, I fear Oh captain won't you show us where to go Make it so, make it so, oh, make it so In the 24th century Men and women live in harmony There's peace and justice within the human race All shapes and colors floating happily through space People run around in trios and in pairs Occupy their time with wild love affairs Ancient history recalls the world wars When the rich were rich and the poor were poor Gotta sprout wings over this brink Will we rise or will we sink? Captain won't you show us where to go Make it so, make it so, oh, make it so In the 24th century Even the air is clean On the earth sparklin' waters run All the little kids are having lots of fun Petrochemicals are a relic of the past All the little hovercrafts are built to last There's not a smokestack in the sky Just little birdies flyin' happy and high I'm trying to predict through the haze Yeah I'm waitin' for those good old days Captain won't you tell us where to go Make it so, make it so, oh, make it so
