Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood?
This black mark that I've tried to suppress or hide
Is a merit that could help me meet the captain
If I make good, so I'll make good
0
When I meet the captain, once I've proved my worth
And when I'm with the captain
What I've waited for since - since birth
And with all his wit and wisdom
By my youth he won't be blinded
Do you think the captain is dumb
Or like Klingons, so thick-minded? No!
He'll say to me, "I see who you truly are
A man on whom I can rely"
And that's how we'll begin, the captain and I

Once I'm with the captain, my whole life will change
'Cause when you're with the captain
No one thinks you're strange
No father is not proud of you
No Imzadi acts ashamed
And everyone has to love you
When by the captain you're acclaimed
And if I'm meant to serve the starship Enterprise
Maybe at last I'll know why
When we are hand in hand, the captain and I

And one day he'll say to me "Number One
A man who is so superior
Shouldn't a man who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here think it a great disgrace
For their commander to have a baby face
May I suggest that you
Should grow a beard for Season 2?"

And though why that's important I cannot see
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be, the captain and I
Yes, what a pair we'll be, the captain and I…

Unlimited, my future is unlimited
And I just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear someday there'll be
Adventures for the Enterprise throughout the galaxy…
0
And I'll stand there with the captain
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it
I'd be so happy I could melt
And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else till I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Starfleet's favorite team, the captain and I
