I wrote this song with my husband, Charles H. Shiring, and we consider it our "signature" Voyager tune, since there's no theme so "Voyager" as the longing to be home....


Take Me Home, Voyager
tune: "Take Me Home, Country Roads"

Travellin' homeward
On our starship
Sounds of warp drive
Throbbing through her deckplates
Life is lonely
We must all be strong
While our faithful starship
Carries us along

Chorus:
Take me home, Voyager
To the space where I belong
Back to Alpha
My home quadrant
Take me home, Voyager

All our hopes are
Centered on her
Noble lady
Stranger to the Delta
White and silver
In black space she gleams
Source of life and longing
Focus of our dreams
(Chorus)

Oh, Alpha space
Like a siren song you call me
Your distant stars remind me
Of my own, far away
And flyin' through this space I wish
We could have gone there
Could have gone home yesterday
Yesterday
(Chorus)

Take me home, Voyager
