DREAM ON

Well, we've come a long long way

And there's no turning back

The road ahead is clear at last

We can search our whole life through

Never knowing what we'll find

But we can make it if we try

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I looked out at the Enterprise. My ship

It really is my ship, isn’t it?

This isn’t something out of a dream?

Well, if it is, it’s a fantastic dream.

Trip was beside me, childish wonder in his eyes.

I wonder if I look as awestruck as him.

Because that’s how I feel. Awestruck.

Dad, this one’s for you. I hope you’re proud of me.

This feels like a dream…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

'Cause every cloud has a silver lining

Just believe that the sun will shine

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

If you look deep inside your heart

You can reach the highest star

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

We can find our destiny

Be anything we wanna be

If we dream on

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wow.

That’s the only thing I have to say about this. Never, never, in my wildest dreams did I

ever think this one up.

It’s really magnificent.

I’ve been working at this for years. Straight A’s at the academy. First prize in every

Science Fair I ever entered. And now, chief engineer…

"She’s really somethin’, ain’t she, cap’n," I say softly to Jon, who’s staring, too.

We’ve reached the docking bay, and I actually surprise myself by feeling faint.

This feels like a dream…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We can make a wish come true (You know it's up to you)

We can swim against the tide

If we just let courage be our guide

And I know we'll find a way (Find a way, we're gonna find a way)

If we close our eyes and Dream

Our time will come, just wait and see

We won't give up, gotta keep on trying

A ray of hope gives you wings to fly

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Never.

On all the ships I’ve ever lived, or served, on, none of them ever looked as beautiful as

this one.

Helmsman.

My father was a funny guy. When I was eight, he promised to get me a puppy

if I promised him that someday I would be a helmsman of a top-of-the-line ship.

I guess I kept my promise.

This feels like a dream…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

If you look deep inside your heart

You can reach the highest star

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

We can find our destiny

Be anything we wanna be

If we dream on

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Since I was a little girl, I’ve always kind of stuck out like a sore thumb in a crowd of

French-manicured pinkies. I could pick up any language they could think up, quicker

Than anyone.

But I could never figure out how to use my gift.

Laura Clomens was great in P.E. She went on to be a basketball star.

Jaklyn Welis was in band, choir and she loved music class. She went solo artist and won

a Grammy a few months back.

But me… I was the no one.

Well, I guess I’m finally some one.

We’re docking now.

This feels like a dream…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just hold your head up high

And we can touch the sky

We're gonna make it through together

The future's in our hands

Taking chances, making plans

We'll have everything we need

If we…

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

If you look deep inside your heart

You can reach the highest star

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"It’s kind of fun to do the impossible."

Walt Disney said that, sometime in the early 20th century, or somewhere around that.

It seems to pretty much fit the situation, now doesn’t it?

A quiet, British fellow who can memorize the periodic table of elements on a whim, and

still can’t get a date for the harvest dance.

It did seem impossible.

But now, I guess it’s impossible for it to be impossible.

Because I’m here, in this pod, and we’re starting docking now.

This feels like a dream…

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Dream on (Dream on, dream on)

We can find our destiny

Be anything we wanna be

If we dream on (Dream on, Dream on)

We can find our destiny,

Be anything we wanna be,

If we dream on (Dream On, Dream On)

Dream on...
