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
