lyrics

SPACE

We were just out on the final frontier
Seeking strange new life both far and near
Everything seemed calm and routine
Then all at once to our surprise
A strange figure caught our eyes
Appearing before us there on the main view screen

He started to scream, he started to yell
Talkin’ about heaven and hell
Like nothing we had ever heard before
I said, “Mr. Spock can you identify?”
He answered me without battin’ an eye
“Sir it’s that crazy evangelist from Rigel 4

“Now let me see if I’ve got this right
It seems he’s bought a satellite
And now he’s preaching all over space
I know this may sound hard to believe
But according to the reports I’ve just received
It says that even Klingons are getting saved.”

Chorus 1:
Cause no matter where you are
No matter where you go
If you’re way out in space or down here below
The word of God will find you
On that, you can depend
So if your heart's not right
I suggest that you repent

Well his signal came in loud and strong
And I tell ya friends it wasn’t long
Before his preaching filled up the Enterprise
Then one by one reports came in
Of how all the crew had turned from sin
And all of them had teardrops in their eyes

I chanced a glance at Doctor McCoy
His face was all lit up with joy
I said, “Bones, Bones, Bones, what have you done?”
He said, “This may come as quite a shock
But I just laid my hands on Mr. Spock
And now that pointy-eared dude speaks in tongues

I thought that was all a bunch of baloney
Until I heard Scotty’s testimony
With special music by Chekov and Sulu
I said, "no more, no more that's it"
And quicker than you can pop a zit
I knelt down and became a Christian too

Chorus 2:
Cause no matter where you are
No matter where you go
If you’re way out in space or down here below
The word of God will find you
On that, you can depend
So if your heart's not right
I suggest that you repent
Oh, if your heart's not right
I suggest that you repent
