The last of the “Wrath of Khan” filk trilogy by Julia Ecklar

Born Again Trek

Lyrics and music by Julia Ecklar

I was with the Midwest crowd who

Stood in line for blocks

I cheered on the Reliant’s end

And I shed a tear for Spock

But… we talked for three days running

Of how Khan did push his luck-

(And what are we?)

   And I am saved, I am saved, I am saved!

For the IDIC’s still the way to god, Spock’s still logical of course

And we’ve still got full made phasers, so tell me, who needs the Force?

And if Spock thinks he is the one with debonair and class

We’ll just tell him we’ve got Admiral Kirk, who still has a gorgeous-  rank

And I am born again, I am born again!

Proud of my ship and all the men within

And I know again, Trek fandom has been born again

Thank Genesis, and Meyer and the fen.

So spread the word throughout the land, we know that Spock’s not dead

An if they will not bring him back we’ll make Con films instead

Dave and Saavik can co-star, and Kirk can tag behind

And even the bridge crew can come, because this time they got lines…

And they’re born again, we are born again!

It’s time to show those Jedi where we stand!

Sixteen years it’s been, but now Trek has been born again

And I’m proud to be a born again Trek fan!

Now it’s our solemn duty to see that everyone’s been saved

If Surak thought he had it rough, he ought to live today

But oh, Great Bird, please hear our prayer, guide our Trek on its course

We’ll make the whole world follow Trek- and if we must, use Force

Oh, born again, we are born again

We’re proud of Starfleet’s finest, yes indeed!

And I know again, my faith in Trek is born again

The final frontier calls again to me

And the legends will live on eternally
