The spirit of discovery Alive and well today Burning in our hearts like Roman candles Set out for adventure And half a world away We bet it all on a calculated gamble The open sea before us The endless sky above The feeling of the wind on our faces We gave up the comfort And luxuries of home In hopes of finding undiscovered places Bright are the faces looking toward the new frontier Bright like the stars that shine above me Spirit of discovery Spirit of discovery A hunger to explore Here's to the Age of Exploration Standing on the shoulders Of men who came before Going farther than their legs would take 'em We are the wanderers, we are the pioneers These are the days, these are the memories Spirit of discovery Bright are the faces looking toward the new frontier Bright like the stars that shine above me These are the moments I'll remember through the years These are the things that leave me wondering Oh, the spirit of discovery! Spirit of discovery!
