Commanders, Unite

The story in the song
Which Mass Effect moment made this universe feel like home?
Released
Lyrics
We saved the galaxy.
Now we save our future.
Commanders, unite!
I used to see a thousand worlds
As distant lights I couldn't name.
Then strangers walked aboard my ship,
And nothing ever looked the same.
A pilot laughing at the odds,
A friend who stood there at my side.
The Normandy was more than steel:
She held the reasons we survived.
Open every channel.
Let the scattered signals through.
If you're out there in the silence,
There's a place aboard for you.
Commanders, unite!
Send the signal through the night!
Different scars, a shared horizon,
Every ship another light.
Hold the line! Keep hope alive!
We have so much left to find.
We didn't save the galaxy
To let tomorrow die.
We crossed the relay burning red,
Where broken ships had gone to sleep.
No promise we'd come home again,
Just promises we meant to keep.
And when the Reapers filled the sky,
A thousand worlds became one crew.
No single hand could turn that tide;
We made it through because of you.
We never had to be the same
To stand here side by side.
Whatever road has brought you here,
Your voice belongs with mine.
Commanders, unite!
Send the signal through the night!
Different scars, a shared horizon,
Every ship another light.
Hold the line! Keep hope alive!
We have so much left to find.
We didn't save the galaxy
To let tomorrow die.
I want a morning without orders,
A table with an extra chair.
A child who points beyond the window,
And asks what waits for us out there.
Not only names upon a wall.
Not only tales of battles won.
A sky that still has room for wonder,
A journey only just begun.
This isn't our last transmission.
All ships. All hands.
We go forward. Together.
For the ones who brought us home!
Hold the line!
For the ones still on their way!
Hold the line!
For the worlds we've yet to find!
Keep the future in our sight!
Our future needs us side by side!
Commanders, unite!
Commanders, unite!
Send the signal through the night!
Different scars, a shared horizon,
Every ship another light.
Hold the line! Keep hope alive!
We have so much left to find.
We didn't save the galaxy
To let tomorrow die.
Set a course beyond the ashes.
Keep the docking beacons bright.
There's a place for every traveler,
And a thousand worlds in sight.
With the love that brought us this far,
And the friends we're counting on,
This is not our last transmission.
Let the next adventure dawn.
Normandy to all ships.
You're not alone out there.
Neither are we.
Commanders, unite.
