Rise to Mars! Men and women
Dare to dream! Dare to strive!
Build a home for our children
Make this desert come alive!
There are challenges before our eyes
That nature never knew
But the power of human enterprise
Shall take us through and through!
Rise to Mars! Men and women
Dare to dream! Dare to strive
Build a home for our children
Make this desert come alive!
Come along raging nations
Altogether hopeful spirits
Bring an end to strife
For our future lies beyond the skies
Rise to Mars! Men and women
Dare to dream! Dare to strive!
Build a home for our children
Make this desert come alive!
Come along, altogether
For our future
Rise to Mars!

The uplifting music for the new song was composed by Mumbai, India-born opera singer Oscar Castellino, while the words were written cooperatively by Mr. Castellino and Mars Society President Dr. Robert Zubrin.

The YouTube video of "Rise to Mars!" was taken from the world premiere performance of the anthem arranged by James Welland and performed last month by Mr. Castellino at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff, Wales.

The anthem's opening segment involves a compelling call for humanity to "Rise to Mars! Men and women. Dare to dream! Dare to strive! Build a home for our children. Make this desert come alive!"

"It's truly a 'Marseilles' for Mars! I would not at all be surprised if it someday became the national anthem of a Free Martian Republic. It is certainly going to be a favorite among all those pushing for a human future in space now and for years to come," said Dr. Zubrin.

The American premiere of "Rise to Mars!" will take place at the 20th Annual International Mars Society Convention at the University of California Irvine this September.
