The greatest show on television

A patchwork quilt with such great vision

From black and white to colour

A cancelled show to fans fervor 

 

Saved for another day 

On the big screen in another way

Bigger bolder and braver

With a new ship to savour

 

Multiple shows to follow

With Gene's loss and fan's sorrow

The big bird took flight into the night

Leaving us hope, peace and the light

 

Now a dumming down

A dissolution of what once was proud

A muddying of a clear blue ocean

Lost to action, fight scenes and no vision

 

What was once great is now greater

As the dark makes the vision brighter
