When Chakotay shuttled in
The womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Chakotay quickly shuttled in
The men would step aside
'Cause the buzz of the core was the only law
That Chakotay understood
When it came to flying straight and fast
He wasn't any good
From out of the 'lift a stranger came
A console in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the crew would need
To tame a troubled land
'Cause the buzz of the core was the only law
That Chakotay understood
When it came to flying straight and fast
He wasn't any good
Many a man would face his craft
And many a man would stall
The man who stopped Chakotay's damage
He stopped Chakotay's damage
He was the bravest of them all
The love of a girl can make a man stay on
When he should go, stay on
Just trying to build a peaceful life
Where Talaxian fruit can grow
But the buzz of the core was the only law
That Chakotay understood
When the final shuttle came to pass
A law book was no good
Alone and afraid, she prayed that he'd
Return that fateful night, oh that night
When nothing she said could keep her man
From going out on flight
From the moment a girl gets to be full grown
The very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other
Only one returns
Everyone heard two booms ring out
The shot made Chakotay stall
The man who stopped Chakotay's damage
He stopped Chakotay's damage
He was the bravest of them all
The man who stopped Chakotay's damange
He stopped Chakotay's damage
He was the bravest of them all...
