We had crashed on

An alien world;

Now our ship was

Beyond all repair,

And though we had

Prayed for our rescue,

We knew we weren’t

Going anywhere.

 

Long after we’d

Made this our home,

A scouting ship

Answered our prayer,

And though we had

Prayed for our rescue,

We knew we weren’t

Going anywhere.
