I wrote this to be the opening song for the 2010 CD Songs From the Science Frontier.

Science Frontier - Song Lyric

Do you look upon the universe with wonder in your eyes?
Do you tingle with attention when you’re taken by surprise?
If a problem should perplex you, does it put your brain in gear?
Then you’re ready for adventure on the science frontier!

The science frontier
The science frontier
You can always be a pioneer
On the science frontier

All our continents are mapped, and all our shipping lanes are known
So our planet doesn’t want another Ponce de Leon
But we do need great explorers with the strength to persevere
Blazing off in new directions through the science frontier

The science frontier
The science frontier
You can always be a pioneer
On the science frontier

Beyond the reach of scientific law
You’ll find a land of untamed facts and rogue phenomena
Dark matter and dark energy, entanglement of light
Pluripotent stem cells, the origins of life
Cancer-fighting nanobots, magnetic monopoles
Extremophile biology, the centers of black holes
Genomics, climatology, the rise of human kind
Informatics, wind energy, the nature of the mind
And for every mountain conquered brand new vistas will appear
May we never see the boundary of the science frontier!

The science frontier
The science frontier
You can always be a pioneer
On the science frontier

Now you can hear this song, along with the entire Songs From the Science Frontier CD, on the podcast Parenting Within Reason, episode 37. It's a free download via iTunes. Enjoy!
