[Senkusha]

I'm A Pioneer, is the OP theme for the OVA number 2 (episodes 7 - 13.  For the longest time, this was my theme song, and where I originally adopted my screen name from (despite the word not being mentioned, even in the Japanese version!)  The lyrics and concept of being a pioneer made such a strong impact upon me that I adopted it as a core quality in my life.

Japanese Lyrics (Romanji)

English Lyrics

Did you know I am a pioneer I'm out on a secret mission I travel the galaxy and far beyond Can't you see that I am a pioneer Unlocking the greatest mysteries My key is a fearless heart So pure and strong People laugh when you are a pioneer Not walking the straight and narrow They tell you the way things are They swear you're wrong You can't be a hero Hiding underneath your bed Got to live the life You create inside your head So I opened the window Caught the wind one night Now I sail with the birds in their flight If you're tired of everything Come hitch a ride with me You'll cry out with joy When you realize you're free It's a trip like no other For your heart and mind Leaving all but the future far behind Some will say you're safer here Never mind them - be a pioneer! Can't you see that you are a pioneer Not one of the endless talkers Who tell you the same old rules you're heard before I can tell that you are a pioneer You want to be facing danger Not happy to hide your big dreams anymore You are a pioneer, the same as me [ Guitar Solo ] You can't be a hero Hiding underneath your bed So we'll live the life We've created in our heads We'll wake up every morning In a whole new place On a road reaching out into space Some will say we're safer here Never mind them - we are pioneers Hand in hand we'll journey as pioneers Unlocking the greatest mysteries Don't listen to anyone Who says we're wrong They can't stop you when you're a pioneer For truth is your greatest weapon Out there in the cosmos Where we both belong A place for pioneers Like you and me Through the ages we will be pioneers We'll go out on secret missions We'll travel the galaxy and far beyond It's our destiny to be pioneers We'll always be moving forward Our courage is what we will be counting on We will be pioneers forevermore
