| Music bridge | SfS - explosion of ship/font> |
| The sky is tainted scarlet | SfS - burns across sky | As a burning streak is etched | . |
| And onward down it lights the night in glory | . |
| The last remains fade slowly into nothing more than dust | SfS - crew to Kirk |
| And space now fills the ship that was my story | Sfs - Kirk & McCoy |
| Bound away to heavens once | Balance - Kirk looking at viewfinder of stars |
| Through the sparkling sky of cold | Immunity - Starry, starry night |
| She kept my youth suspended wild and bold | Amok Time - kirk jumps alien |
| But see she glides no more | Corbormite - ship glide |
| Through a now dead endless void | SfS - burning ship falls to bottom right |
| And I'll be damned, once more I'm feeling | SfS - Kirk with others on shaking planet |
| Old | SfS - admiral inspects crew; Kirk walks to window from McCoy |
| Comrades at my side a fire burns dimly | SfS - Kirk with others, Sulu points |
| Far below | SfS - fire |
| And a chance | SfS - Kirk goes toward fire |
| My friend once dead | WoK - Kirk looks at dead Spock |
| May live again | SfS - Saavik brushes hair from Spock's ear |
| My feelings change direction, | SfS - Kirk arrives at Saavik and Spock |
| My own ambitions lost | SfS - Kirk turns Spock over |
| My conscience knows the fight I choose | SfS - admiral arrives at Enterprise |
| To win | SfS - blowing up ship |
| My lady now has left me | SfS - burning ship against sky |
| Yet I wonder at the cost | SfS - Kirk watching with McCoy, what have I done |
| The years that I spent chained within her soul | Naked Times - Kirk looks at ship that is his mistress |
| Twas but all a grand illusion, spinning hollow happiness | STTMP - Kirk confronts ex-capt |
| And friendship now has made my life a whole | SfS - Kirk beaming Spock up to Klingon ship |
| Yes, friendship now has made my life a whole. | SfS - your name is Jim |
