CHO: Hail to the diggers! Hail to the builders!

Hail to the stars that we see through the dome
C G C F
This is our foot in the door of the future
C G F C
This is our pride; this is our lunar home
C G C
Tunneling under the regolith
C G F G
Blasting a home through the dark and the cold
C G C
Building a dream from this crater
G F G
Engineers, architects, pioneers bold

Tendrils of metal stretch outward

Concrete and steel root us to the ground
C G C
Skyline extends 'cross the moonscape
G F G
Luna, our homestead, to her we are bound
CHORUS
Rhapsody of road and structure
Rendered from dreamscapes of fantastic worlds
Birth of a home and a city
Challenges mastered, our banner unfurled
Gathering now in the courtyard
Earth smiles down through the glass and the steel
Dancing and toasting our vision
Hail to the dreamers who made this place real!
CHORUS (2x)
