The Ballad of Serenity by Sonny Rhodes

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.

Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.

I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.

Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity

And you can't take the sky from me.

 

A Brief History of the Universe

By Joss Whedon

 

Earth-That-Was couldn't handle the growing population and resource needs of humankind.  Amazingly enough, instead of wiping itself out, the human race rose to the challenge of finding a new home for the species. A nearby star was located, home to dozens of planets, and hundreds of moons, almost all of which had enough mass and solidity to be templates for the new Earths.  Through the giant atmosphere processing plants, terraforming technologies, gravity regulation, and the introduction of every known form of Earthlife, each planet became its own little (or in some cases, huge) Earth.  Every person willing and able to leave the Earth migrated to the new system.  An entire genetation never even saw the outside of a spaceship, the journey took so long. But the planets were ready for habitation and civilization as we knew it began to rebuild.
