I Am a Pioneer
English version
producer: Kit Thomas; vocals: Sharyn Scott
(note: these lyrics are not a direct translation of the above Japanese version)

section indicated by the red bar is the ~85 second OVA version

			Did you know I am a pioneer? I'm out on a secret mission I travel the galaxy and far beyond
			Can't you see that I am a pioneer Unlocking the greatest mysteries My key is a fearless heart so pure and strong
			People laugh when you are a pioneer Not walking the straight and narrow They tell you the way things are, they swear you're wrong
			You can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed Got to live the life you create inside your head So I opened the window, caught the wind one night Now I sail with the birds in their flight
			If you're tired of everything come hitch a ride with me You'll cry out with joy when you realise you're free It's a trip like no other for your heart and mind Leaving all but the future far behind
			Some will say you're safer here Never mind them, be a pioneer
			Can't you see that you are a pioneer Not one of the endless talkers Who tell you the same old rules you've heard before
			I can tell that you are a pioneer You want to be facing danger Not having to hide your big dreams any more You are a pioneer, the same as me
			You can't be a hero hiding underneath your bed So we'll live the life we've created in our heads We'll wake up every morning in a whole new place On a road reaching out into space
			Some will say we're safer here Never mind them, we are pioneers
			Hand in hand we'll journey as pioneers Unlocking the greatest mysteries Don't listen to anyone who says we're wrong They can't stop you when you're a pioneer For truth is your greatest weapon Out there in the cosmos where we both belong A place for pioneers like you and me
			Through the ages we will be pioneers We'll go out on secret missions We'll travel the galaxy and far beyond It's our destiny to be pioneers We'll always be moving forward Our courage is what we will be counting on
			We will be pioneers forevermore
