Step into the Great Unknown

This is a dangerous proposition

We're heading out on an intergalactic sibling rescue mission

I'm gonna try my best to instill us

With some courage, 'cause we never know what might jump out and kill us

Wait, kill us?

Well, yeah, I mean, we don't know

Maybe there's monsters who spit spider webs or breathe sulfuric acid

Maybe there's sentient vegetation that will spew out noxious gasses

Maybe there's a shark with the wings of an eagle and the pancreas of a lizard

Maybe there's creatures made completely out of rock, paper and scissors

I guess the point I'm making is we really have no clue

What the heck we're gonna see, what the heck we're gonna do

But we're not gonna leave her on the other side of everything

We won't leave her there alone

We may be over prepared, but we have no idea what's there, so let's

Stop, take a breath, before we step into the great unknown

Wait, wait, wait! Now I'm nervous!

Yeah, I am not sure that all this speculation is the best way to instill courage

I'll admit that my heart is racing

There's an infinite set of variables; we don't know what we're facing

But we really need to stay on track

'Cause we're gonna save our sister; nothing's gonna hold us back

Not even alien dust that comes alive and flies into your nose

Or giant freaky insects who'll lay eggs in everybody's clothes

Not vampire alien overlords; that really might exist

Or for that matter any of these other improbable things of which I've made a list

I guess the point I'm making is we really never know

But it doesn't matter anyway; we're still gonna go

'Cause we're not gonna leave her on the other side of everything

We won't leave her there alone

And though we may be unaware of what is waiting over there

We'll just stop, take a breath, and step into the great unknown

And it's best that we be wary 'cause this really might be scary

We are, all of us, about to step into the great unknown
