In Memory of Intrepid adapted lyrics by Patricia Wright to original lyrics and music by Rick Spenser Another ship is lost from San Francisco's docks: Scientists this time.

Somewhere in our galaxy, Lost in the sweeping starfields: Something as small as a life pod Is almost impossible to find.

Chorus: When the morning comes to San Francisco, Our ships will be among the stars. Some are leaving, some returning With discoveries from space. And on the mind of everyone, But not a word is spoken: Is who will be the next to go To space and not return? Chorus: Chorus:
