"Connect to Your Truth" was a song performed by Una Chin-Riley and James T. Kirk when USS Enterprise hit a subspace fold in 2259. In it, they discussed how a first officer should relate to the people under their command. (SNW: "Subspace Rhapsody").

Lyrics[]

Una: I call that style of command a first mistake, the kind that makes my head shake and my heart break.

Take some advice
From your senior Number One
This, I assure, tried and true

The littlest things can mean everything
When it comes to them and you
Connect to your crew

We're singing again
We're singing again
And it makes me confess
Things I'd never express

Truth be told in a parallel world
I can see myself up on the stage
And for three hours a night
And to everyone's delight

I'd regale them with all my renditions
Of Gilbert and Sullivan
Ha-ha!

Jim Kirk: So what you're saying is…

With my new commission
To a higher position
I'd do well to profess my truths

Rather than question it
I deem it relevant
No longer will I dispute

That the littlest things
Can mean everything
In being authentically you
Connect to your truth

Jim Kirk: You know, when you put it like that, it makes sense.

Rather than question it
Let's deem it relevant
Absent from fear or dispute

These deeply held things
Yes, they mean everything
In becoming authentically you
Connect to your truth

And connect to your crew
Will do
