Once upon a time
On a ship too far to see
Sat one of strength and character
As no one else could be.

With all his crew around him,
With loyalty untold,
He battled the hated enemy
With valor, strong and bold.

What this Captain needs
Is to be a flying ace
And to laugh in the face of danger
From some disputing race.

He could be a little distant
But everybody knew
If you ever had a problem
He'd be right there for you.

Who could this one of wonder be,
Dancing through the stars
With valor, strength and character?
How can the truth be far?

So take a few good minutes
And maybe then you'll find...
Kathryn, Jim, Jean-Luc or Ben --
Your choice as good as mine!
